New Portrait




Hey guys, here is one of the newer portraits I have been wrapping up. I did not want to display the full painting because this had been commissioned for a wedding gift and I do not want unwanted eyes seeing the full piece before its time "but it should be ok." I enjoyed working on the man's face and the couples hands. The guy had a certain warmth in his gesture that I tried my best to convey even though I only had a pic to work with. It is my knowledge that the couple both passed away, that always evokes a different feeling when I'm working on a piece. I still have not gotten around to painting my father's portrait and he died years ago. I guess I have to get in a certain mindset to work on that one.
