Lee

Kind of looks like a ta da pose. Lee is the youngest grandchild of some friends of mine. I have painted his sister and two sets of twin cousins. So....another commission piece completed. Whew! Only seven more to go. This week is going to be comission week.
Lee was kind of a tough cookie. Mom did not have lots of pictures of Lee on the beach and since he is a senior in High School we could not do another photo session. In the photo I used as a reference, he is slightly under an umbrella. Nixed that and just tried to make it work. Painted on a 8 x 10" linen canvas.
