Second Painting of Man From Lahore

This is the second painting that I have done of this man from Lahore, Pakistan. I gave the other painting to Ken since he is so kind to let me use his photos. He is currently in Nepal on a mission trip, hopefully taking more photos that I can use! Just kidding, he is doing a great work for the Lord so, of course, that is more important that taking photos for me. I still have a little work to do on this painting but it is 97% finished. This painting is larger than the last one, it's 12" x 16" and I think it works well with this subject.

I'm working on another painting that I hope to have finished before I hang my work at the 50 Penn Place gallery on May 1st. I probably have enough paintings finished but I like to have a choice.

Tomorrow I'm taking my first online class on painting portraits from Susan Carlin from 9 to 4 so there goes my Saturday! I'm looking forward to it and it should be lots of fun. I rearranged my painting station last night so I will have access to my computer while I'm painting. My keyboard and mouse should be covered with paint before the end of the day! I'll post the painting that I produce in the class tomorrow. This will be a hard one because it is of a young boy and children are difficult for me to paint. They have smooth skin and smaller features whereas more mature people have nice character lines that are fun to add.
