Painted in 2008, 35 by 46 inches. This is, in my own estimation, my first really formal portrait. And yet I still strove to bring a warmth and approachability to this painting that I have always attempted with my informal portraits as well. Interestingly, I think this portrait turns out even more approachable than some of the less formal work, so I'm counting this one a big success. To read some more about this painting, see my thoughts on the blog.
