Here is one more in my continuing theme of portraits. This
time it’s a recent commission for a local family. I painted the little boy a couple of years ago and now it was time for the whole family to have a group portrait.
The backdrop is a view from the top of Table Mountain which
has significance for both the family and for me since we both have ties to
South Africa. It seemed fitting to recreate a holiday photograph taken on the
mountain in their family portrait.

I did a photo shoot with the family and then worked with a
number of different photographs for each family member’s face.
I am so happy to be able to photo shop with paint rather than
computer software. I would rather wield a brush any day.
