The big portrait I've been wanting to paint

Posted on December 5th, 2009 by Melissa Paule.

I've been wanting to paint a big multi subject portrait for a long time.  The inspiration photo was Beth's idea  and the second to last before my camera battery died.  I'm drawing it on an undercoat of satin acrylic on the 30" x 40" watercolor board.  I love working on it.

It's finished!

The green for the sweater worked out fine.  It will hang in the living room until our next opportunity to visit with the intended recipient, Nancy.  The reference photo is below.

Update 12/9 AM

Not sure about the green I've chosen for the sweater.  Hmm.  We'll see.  The little man running on C's head was purely accidental.
