P.A.D. Day 41

Today a real portrait!  Not a perfect likeness, but one of my kids recognized it for who it was so I'll take that as a success.  REally gotta work on recognizing the skin tones and learning how to mix them and then blend them on the canvas smoothly.  The hardest part is turning off your brain and letting your eyes tell you what they see in terms of colour.
