Illustration Friday: Portrait

I was hoping to use this for one of the IF topics. I did this portrait last autumn for my mom's birthday. It is based on an old photograph of us from my childhood when we were goofing around with my dad's 'styling' fishing hat.

This was done almost entirely in Painter IX.
You can see a larger version which I posted at CGTalk. .

I really like it. I'm also amazed about what you can do in Painter... I'll give it a try, someday!

You are too cute with that cutie-pie face and braids! I'm diggin' your mom's hat. I love the twin hand-gesture in the pose--but really I can't take my eyes away from your adorable little face. Beautiful work.

I've loved this piece ever since you first showed me. Great execution. You're so good with Painter. I wish I could tap into your brain and steal some of your painting super powers (digitally and traditionally)!!

Your mom must have been so touched to receive such a lovely piece of art from you, plus with so much sentiment! Really nice use of color and it's nice you didn't try to re-create the photo, but lent it your own style. Mom should be proud!
