"Crossing"

2012-02-18T22:31:00.003-08:00

This is another painting I did at Down Whitelaw's workshop. I enjoyed the three day workshop very much. It's so good to see some of my old friends and get to meet with other new artist friends. Most important is - I learned how and what to "think" during the process of a painting from Dawn. It is just simply too cool :-)

This is grandpa Glen. He hasn't had chance to see his own portrait yet. This is a harder one to paint since the most part of his face is in the shadow and he has very dark skin tone. But turned out it just looks like him.
