This was a commissioned Portrait I finished recently of the mother of a good friend of mine.
The picture she had as a reference was black and white, and she originally wanted me to make the painting exactly like the photo.
It took a bit of convincing, but she was really glad in the end that I suggested adding a bit of subtle color.
It gives the portrait more life and a certain dramatic elegance.
