Fountain Park

This is Fountain Park in Franklin, PA. I took this picture back in August with my digital camera. Here is my son running up to the fountain. It was a beautiful warm day to play in the park. I can't wait til summer I'm so sick of all this cold weather. I have pictured here the beginning and ending stage of this painting.

Sweet Dreams

I finally did it! I painted my first portrait and I'm pleased on how it turned out. I had some problems at first with the nose but the final result turned out just the way I wanted it to. The nose is the hardest thing for me to paint on a person. Just trying to get the shading just right and the shape so that it ends up looking like the person you are trying to paint is the hardest part.
This painting is not for sale.
