This was painted from a photograph that my mom gave me. She was 21 when the photo was taken. The photo was old and faded which gave me the idea to use the faded color in the painting. As for acrylic, it’s still not my favorite medium. Some day when I get my own private studio I’ll start painting in oil again. As for painting portraits I think it’s more difficult than landscapes. I can change a landscape and it’s no big deal. I cant do that with a portrait. This was more of a challenge for me than anything I’ve done in the past two years.
