Benjamin 8 years later



 My first formal portrait from life after being away from my pastels for five years. Ben graciously sat for me this week, 8 years after I first painted him at age 8.  I bribed him to sit for me by allowing his PS3 into the art studio.  All was well until he put in an airplane game and started swaying his head all around.  That game didn't last very long!  It still needs work but it was nice to get a good likeness of his handsome face at this point.
