Great job Mike, enjoy the colors used in the darker areas of his face. I'm surprised a 17 year old would even pose for his dad, it's just not cool.  What does he think of it?

Thanks Jimmie. He was surprised at the likeness , but you're right, it's just not cool. I don't think he's told any of his friends.

Mike, I love this. I like his expression - it says 'teenager'. I wish mine would sit for me, but I do not think they have the capability yet, maybe when they are older.

Michele,Chris & Kimberly:
Thanks for taking the time to post your comments. I always value your opinions both positive and negative. I really liked this pose. I thought it defined both his personality and his age.
Michele:
I do believe he will value this painting as he gets older.One of the most gratifying aspects of being an artist is what we can leave behind, particularly to our family members. I hope my paintings of them say a little bit about who I am and also who they are for future generations.
What a wonderful life we have!

This is a beautiful portrait Mike, and I know your son will treasure it forever. My teens take it all for granted now too - but as Michelle said, he will appreciate it someday! We'll be glad we painted them at this stage of their lives too. I already am for many reasons.
Sincerely,
Denise
