Painting from Life #3: Tom


We had an hour in the sun, so I sketched him a little bit, then pulled out the old paint box. This is the result. Tom was sitting on my wonderful red porch, half in the sun and half in the shade. Where the sun hit his hair, it glowed, otherwise, it looks dark. I will follow up this painting with a studio painting from the photos I took during this sitting.
