I’ve been working on a portrait of my grandson the last couple of weeks. He had been out finding Easter eggs on a hot afternoon. I know I neeed to ckean up some edges and fine tune some facial features… But I feel pretty good about how it’s shaping up so far. C&C welcomed! 😊😊😊

The portrait is wonderful, love the flush in the face and everything else. There is a shadow all the way around the head I think you should give the background some more consideration so it will support the portrait more, give it a job. Since it is just paint you can afford to play with it some.

My acrylic gallery of past paintings more to come. https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/topic/mike-s-gallery/

It looks great! Terrific expression and your light touch with the textures and drawing is just beautiful.

I feel his left contour is too far out (wide) and the shoulder on that side may be squared up along with grouping the subtle shirt lights more.

Hi Mike and Ken! Thank you for this input! Ive been off the grid for awhile and haven’t a chance to respond (or paint). Ok, I’ll be making adjustments, taking in your recommendations 😊. Thank you for taking the time to consider my painting!
