This is a Challenge from August 14, 2009. The original photo was taken in Krumlov, Czeck Republic. When I got to the face I decided to use one of myself taken just before my wedding (50 years ago). To paraphrase an old song 'it's a nice face but it's not my face.) But after putting in 15 hours on the face, I give up. Next time I do a face I'll have to work larger. I would post my photo for you to compare but it was a b/w snapshot. And the face is about 1/2 inch. The face on this painting is 2 inches. Pretty close to painting a miniature.
This painting is oil on canvas board, 12 x 16.
