Oil Portrait ...
I'm putting the finishing touches on an oil portrait, shown above. This was a joy to work on - I loved the pose and expression. I hope to varnish in the next week and then get a high resolution scan.
Next I have a portrait commission in pastel, and then I want to do something in colored pencil. Working in various media keeps me on my toes!
