Son's portrait

[Julia Reynolds]

Thank you, Michele,

Here is the source photo.

You see his little ear is all crooked. It is part of what makes him Daniel. You are not the first to comment on it, but what should I do? Remove it?

I agree with your critique. You are right on about the hair. The paper is a maroon color but I guess I should have used more complementary colors.

I work much better with life than photos. I can see color much better. I am going to post a portrait I did at the Art Student's League before I took my eight year hiatus. I did this in two and half hours from a live model.
