End of April Painting

I haven't really decided on a title for this piece. What would you call it?

Commission from Arts Alliance Drawing

This commissioned painting is probably one of the more enjoyable "for profit" pieces I've worked on. One reason is because I was able to work from my own photograph. Being able to form my own composition from the beginning is always an ideal situation. I took more than 30 photographs of this child. After his mother, grandmother, a friend of their family, and I reviewed the digital photos, we all came to an agreement on which image was the best representation of him, and which might translate best into an oil painting. I wanted to use the projector for this piece, but the only projector that I had access to was too dim to be useful. I decided to loosley freehand the contour of the image with a piece of white chalk. The rest is history...Let's end all of these descriptions with that statement... "The rest is history." Yeah, that'll work. Or with that one: "Yeah that'll work." Ok. Let me stop. Seriously...
