Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mischa! I have been really looking for a way to get my son into an oil painting, though. Maybe it's an age thing, where I tend to see children fitting better with the medium of pastels, but I have yet to do an oil painting of him. And I think it that case I agree with others here (Hi and thanks!) and will try to find something with more traditional lighting.
I have a couple ideas... one is to paint him WB style. He has the long limbs, the alabaster complexion, and big eyes. My other idea was inspired by our trip to the local art museum. We went to the museum while he had the mohawk, but he insisted on wearing a suit and tie. I like the idea of doing a formal, traditional portrait but letting his quirky personality come through in a small way, like with his hairdo. I'll keep you posted on any attempts at new references!
