The Effects of Glare on Color

"Riley - A Second Look"

Oil on Canvas, 6" sq., c. Catherine Vines

    

I've painted this little boy before, but then he's one of my favorites. He's such a boy, interested in trucks and other full-time boy pursuits, practically from birth. He follows in his dad's footsteps, who is quite an athlete himself.

I miss him.

I think this is my best joy to date of painting hair.

I apologize about the glare on the right side of the painting. Look at how it even changes the color of his top, not to mention the right side of his face.
