Finished the portrait of Pastor Wismer today! It is hard to get a good photo as some of the colors have sunk in. In a few months when I varnish it the colors will come out more. I actually remembered to take notes as I went and figured it took 50 hours to paint. It really shouldn't have taken me that long but I say that every time. I can't predict when it will be finished I just get to the point where I know. It's 16" x 21" on Dibond Panel.
