Beautiful portrait and nice touch including a picture of you holding it - nice way to definitively prove it is your own original work :) I would love to learn more about your process - describe the journey from beginning one of your paintings to the end. Are you working from a photo? Multiple photos? Do you sketch with pencil first? I think it adds so much value to a post when an artist lets us in on their process. I am following you and looking forward to more awesome posts! Cheers - Carl
