Portrait 60/100

 











I recently held a portrait commission giveaway, and the recipient of this portrait was one of two winners. 
I don't generally agree to painting teeth, because they can easily turn into a line of chiclets, but I tried it out on this portrait, and I think the teeth turned out okay. Thank you to Karen for the lovely reference photo of her daugther, I really enjoyed painting her.

This painting is in oil paint on 6x8” mdf panel. Here are some process shots.
