After doing lots of quick oil head studies, I felt it was the right time to accept a portrait commission. The subject is my friend Jacquelynne. Her mother asked me to paint her daughter after learning that portraiture is a heavy area of study for me. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this, and really felt the studying paying off. I'm happy to say the portrait was very well received! I was lucky enough to get a photo of me, the model, and the painting as well. You can see that on my blog: [link] BTW, this is oil on canvas, 12x16"
