this is  my first attempt at painting a portrait in oil. I have done many pencil portraits and a few in watercolor. This one was particularly fun because it is my grandson. I think that I will probably go back in and finish out the background, but I wanted to put this up here for now. I am really looking forward to trying a few more portraits. I took several cute photos of him while on vacation last month. It will make for great practice! This shot was in such beautiful sunlight that I just couldn’t resist giving it a try.
