Notes: My client asked me to paint a portrait to gift to his wife on Christmas morning, and provided me their engagement photo as reference.
Working it on a good sized canvas, the finished 12×16 piece is quite detailed in person.
One of my best clients, they have commissioned at least a half dozen paintings and drawings and have quite a growing collection of original art!
