Oil on canvas 14X18. This is my son, Tom. He thinks I made him look way too glum. His sister thinks I got his personality just right! I promised him that I would paint him with a smile next time.
Kevin .. is he this serious always? Just kidding, I think you captured an expressive moment very well. The backround shows him well. Good job.
I like the way you did him here. It feels like somebody that age - the expression is very vivid and specific. Since I'm partial to muted color and grey backgrounds, I dig those here as well. Tell Tom to quit whining, it's a really nice piece of work. Or, you know, just wait 20 years and he'll reach that conclusion on his own...
Ha, Ha- To paraphrase Tom: You made me look like I'm pissed, and you over emphasized my bad eye, and you toned down my mohawk.... Who says family only gives you praise?
Kevin, This is very nice. I think the serious expression is very impressive. Great portrait.
