have finished my most recent commissioned portrait for a friend and her lovely family.
24x30" acrylic on canvas
miss elena (the beautiful woman on the left) gave me several different photos of the family members as reference. i put them together in one shot as if they had been in the same room. she wanted a modern look in all back + white with a simple frame, here is my result.
