I did this of a colleague's son a few years ago. Tried to post it on Critiques, but it wouldn't go...we'll see how it does here.
Critiques welcome.

Oil on canvas, 20"x 16"

Ah well, it's either a system problem, or it wasn't meant to be critiqued http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hi bbbilly1326

The problem seemed to be that the system didn't like the # symbol in the title.

You have captured a very lively expression in this portrait.

best wishes http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif

He looks ready! Nice work. Maybe a little fuller arms but otherwise, I like.

Thanks Sandra, he was mugging for the camera with this Mandarin cap with the fake pigtail. That expression gave me fits. It's hard enough to capture a likeness, much less when the face is distorted like that.

Dave, I notice the arms too, now, of course http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/smile.gif
