I'm not going to lie. I felt very much in the weeds with this painting. I was excited by the strong light in the reference photo I had taken, but quickly realized the difficulty in tackling it and trying to capture a likeness as well. As soon as I let go of the latter, things began to take an upward turn, however. And, when all was said and done, it did end up looking a bit (kinda, sorta, maybe just a little) like Derek - nephew and twin brother to Jesse (see 1/2/11 post). Just kinda, sorta, though...

Strong painting. Nice texture to it too.
Kathy, This is a wonderful portrait. Wow!
This painting has a mystery to it...and a passion I sense in all your portraits. Not easy lighting and you pulled it off successfully!
Have your nephews seen these yet? They're going to flip!
