Fin

6 x 6 oil on stretched canvas

This is a painting of my son using a photo from Easter Day (see the photo below). It is much smaller than the other portraits I've done and a more serious pose, although I had fun with Fin's wild and crazy surfer dude locks. After carefully studying his face for the painting, I am convinced he barely looks anything like me! I'm trying to capture a similar pose of Hadley, but it is proving difficult to get the photo, mostly because they've learned to 'smile' for the camera.
