July 2012 Portrait Commission

This is the first portrait made on a 12" by 16" creme colored paper.  The photograph has taken a little out of the color out of the background.  It is a composite portrait made out of two separate pictures and I like how it has turned out.  

This is a nearly complete 9" by 12" portrait.  The few areas that need refinement include the kiss, as the lips look a little off in the photo.  I always have a hard time leaving my portraits alone as I can most always find something to fine tune.  My darn perfectionist side.
