Dan, I think your portrait is so nicely done. You have a light and airy touch which flatters the subject very much. I am saddened that she passed away and particularly under the circumstances.
I will do posthumous portraits but the main problem for me is the lack of good reference material. Perhaps that is why many artists avoid them. That aside, the clients for whom I do these portraits are especially grateful which is gratifying beyond the staple work.
Dan,
This is beautiful and very sensitively done. My guess is it was not the best ref pic, as is usually the case. But you took difficult lighting and created a beautiful image. I am sure the family will treasure it their lifetime, expecially the baby as it grows up.
I too, welcome the posthumous portrait for what it brings to the loved ones.
