After six long months...I finally called it quits on this painting. I had so many issues with this painting that I must say I am relieved to move on to my next project.

This portrait was not a commissioned piece but one I am planning on giving my daughter for a graduation gift. My goal was realism but as you can see it is far from that. I need to get real and realize, realism is not my thing.Total Views
