Old Isaac's Place

I just finished this little 8" x 10" last night. I chose this scene to paint because I love the old rickety fence. Whoa, I see a glaring error in this painting that I need to fix! It really helps to look at a photo of a painting that you thought was finished!

Now I'm working on a portrait of a family member. Why is it so much harder to paint someone that you know? It seems like it would be an advantage because you know your subject but it's more difficult to me. I think it will be a nice painting when I'm finished but it won't look like my family member, that's for sure! I need to practice drawing the person then I will try it again later.
