First Portrait!

I recently completed this portrait (my first!) of the darling one-year-old grandson of friends in Louisville - the original photo is shown first, followed by the early work- in- progress, and then the final portrait.  I have also shown a close-up of the detail on the shirt as well as the face.  It was such fun to do!  It was very important to have a great photo from which to work, with high contrast and plenty of color.
