I'm resubmitting this as I made a few minor adjustments as well as took a better photo. Now the painting is more color correct...not sure if you can remember but it was more brown and subdued.

A small 9x12" study of a photo by :iconTimelessImages: She kindly gave permission for me to paint a few of her fabulous photo's [link]
You really should check her out.
Not finished this one yet and may want to do a larger version...wanted to see what ya'll think.
