Second Commission

This is the piece that has kept me at my easel for the past 2-3 weeks. It is to be a surprise Christmas present for my friend's husband. He wanted this portrait done and especially wanted it done in black and white. I have never done an oil portrait in black and white before so needless to say, it was a challenge. I am pleased with the results and only hope she and her husband will be pleased.



All that's left here is my signature then it is on to couple of paintings I've had on hold.

  3. I find portraits a challenge but you seem to have a handle on it. This is really well done and is especially nice in blackand white
