Sorry for being so absent lately and a new portrait

[CBarrett]

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been checking in everyday to see if anyone needs any help with anything. I have been busy working on a portait of my parents that I am going to print out on canvas and give to my siblings for Christmas presents. I used an old b/w photo for reference and boy was it a "doozy" trying to get skintones to look halfway presentable! I will just post a link here to the page that it is on so that you can see both the finished portait and the black and white photo. The picture is of my family and was taken before I was born.....many, many years ago!
Take care everyone!
