Second of three brothers
Just finished this one, he is the younger brother to the boy with the Corgi that I did a few years back. There is a third brother that I will be painting this summer -- so all three boys will have been painted at the same age... This is 30x24, oil on linen panel
Note: There are clearer images of this painting here.

Thanks David!
It's an interesting challenge -- to make separate paintings a few years apart that reflect the different personalities of the boys -- but are consistent in size/scale/style and able to hang together harmoniously. Kurt posed for me at their family's summer home at a lake (the beach is just below that rock wall he's sitting on) whereas Brian was on the side porch of different home -- but I liked that both scenes had potted flowers and stone walls as common elements... Not sure what setting we'll find for the youngest boy, though they've already requested that the family cat be included, so 2 of the three will have pets in common. . . if we can get the cat to cooperate! 
And I should say that I am very lucky to have them as clients!

Beautiful, Terri! His skin looks so real, and I like the way you painted his glasses. It's interesting to compare this portrait with the one of his brother.

This is so well done, Terri! The softness of the skin next to the texture and color of the hair is great.

Alex, Julie -- thank you both for your comments! 
The goose is one of a set of several (iron?) statuettes that were arranged along that rock wall framing the beach. . .

Terri,
What a beautiful painting of the other brother. These kids are very fortunate to each have such beautiful portraits of themselves painted by you. Lovely work!
