Thank you, Allan and Alexandra. My dad really loves it and he had a wonderful time watching the process and getting to be a part of my learning experience. I took photos of this painting along the way, as it helps me to look back and identify mistakes I made, and most importantly, where I should have put down the brush. I am attaching a photo here that I do feel was a stronger portrait, before introducing the background. I've got a lot to learn, and a lot of experience painting from life to gain.
