[John Reidy]

I was fortunate to have a photograph of my father to be able to use as a subject. I have attached the attempt here for my learning experience. I did this over a year ago but I feel I'm ready for some constructive criticism. If anyone would like to see the refernce material I can post it but I will warn you that I took liberties on his face. While I painted it, I was more aware of his presence than his photograph.
