My January submission for #pARTy-challenge. This took longer than I originally wanted, but the painting kind of had it's own agenda apparently. Nevertheless, I learned a lot by painting this. I had to take a photo and edit the colors, but they still look a little strange. Maybe I'll tweak them again in a few days.
Wow, if I could this more than once, I would. You've captured his stance and expression so well, and I particularly like the swirling dust-like patterns in the background. His anatomy is spot-on and you've done a great job capturing the colours in his coat. This is a really great painting!
