Still working on the portrait commission I posted the other day. I've added the latest stage to the slideshow below. This portrait is a good example of how paintings don't progress linearly; as one part develops, I may also lose something that was working better before. In this latest stage, I've lost some of the expression of the boy on the left in comparison to the previous stage; the boy on the right's nose is looking weird. However, in my experience it is best to build the painting as a whole and not obsess over one area or feature. Will be working on this one more tomorrow.
In other news, I will be working at the opening reception of the Philadelphia Pew Gallery's new show on Saturday night. Several of my paintings will be on display there as well.
