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.

A Young Man is Little Portrait Painting No. 16

100 Little Portrait Painting Project. Painting No.16. "A Young Man" Copyright Christine Montague

This 6″ x 6″ oil painting portrait of an attractive young man is also a commission. It is the first time I have painted a soul patch.

The collection on my wall of reproductions of these little commissions is happily growing.
