portrait

I want to paint more.  This is the start of that resolve.

(I just looked at this small and noticed the white of the shirt and the grey of the BG are switched.  oops)

This is the first portrait that i have done that bears a resemblance to the person that I was painting.  I didn't actually time myself with this so i might have been a little longer than 30 min, but i am happy with the exercise.

I would like to do more over the next month.
