Pres - Take I

 14 x 14 acrylic on stretched canvas

This is after the first session on my grandson.  It will hang with the portrait of my granddaughter I did a week or so ago.   He always makes silly faces when posing (he's 5) and this was taken at the beach with him trying on large sunglasses.    The actual painting isn't this yellow.  I just took it in artificial light at night so the colors don't ring true at all.  I have some more touches for it but I must be finished by tomorrow afternoon since we will be seeing them this weekend hopefully.

The Look

 8 x 10 oil

I've just been playing today and experimenting with skin tones, drawing, etc.  This was just a picture from a fashion magazine.   The model actually had her hand on her sunglasses as if she was about to take them off, but I didn't want to tackle fingers today so I painted them out!
