After drying for about 6 months, I applied a matte finish on this, and now finally got it framed after several delays. The nice part in oil painting is that it’s not a hurried pursuit.

Here’s a closer shot from when the painting was finished + progress: https://art.plantmonster.net/pieces/123.html

    May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?

    I do drawing and oil paints for practice, and asked around my family if someone wanted portraits since I’m doing them anyway and might as well paint family. This is a relative who likes to do speeches. There was a low resolution photo of one of the speeches lying around, so I decided to paint from that. The painting will be delivered for the person’s birthday soon.
