Still agonizing
Hi Michelle, no, not delivered yet. I'm still working on getting the perfect likeness. One of these times his face will light up and dance, then I will be happy. I wish I had increased the size of the figures on the canvas for many reasons, first it would have been easier to get the likeness. and second more emphasis would have been placed on the figures and less on the landscape. The client has already seen it and loves the background though. It has special meaning for them, the colors, the time of year, and that particular area. I can't argue with that, it has special significance to them and I have to honor that.
I had to take a break from working on it, so finished his charcoal, and did a pastel of my stepdaughter. Today I came back to this and have been working on it all day. You must be psychic (a right-brained thing)! Thanks for taking a look at this, all your suggestions are noted and appreciated.
Jean
