New Portrait of a Gentleman is No. 17 of 100 Little Portraits

Portrait 17. 6" x 6" oil painting on canvas copyright Christine Montague

Portrait 17 of 100 Little Portraits project.  Commissioned painting of a gentleman. The ochre background  was a different use of colour for me and plays nicely against the dark blue suit and rich skin tones. I  enjoyed painting this portrait and will miss it when it leaves the studio.
