Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
When I photographed this little boy in preparation for this painting, he wore a green t-shirt over his black turtleneck shirt. I asked him if green was his favorite color. He replied that it was, but that purple was his second favorite color. In my first incarnation of this painting, I tried to be true to the green. However, it didn't work. Additionally, I didn't have his skin tones correct. And the more I fiddled with the skin tones, the more the drawing went askew. So I trashed the first canvas and started anew. This is the second attempt with oils.
