WOnderful. Thanks so much for the step by steps. I know from watching you paint that it's SO much more challenging than you make it look! He's such a good looking young man, too.

I have followed your Growth Portait series for awhile now... This is FANTASTIC!!! I appreciate seeing the progression of this painting in a brief tutorial format. I would love to see more of your work displayed this way. This painting is definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.

Fabulous portrait of your "golden"
child. Your technique is so much
different than mine. My daughter
also says your painting is fabulous and your son is "hot".
