John Adams

I like this painting. I might have to take one step back and redo George. There is always some thing I seem to overlook but I will try to refrain from pointing out any shortcoming. Both Washington and Adams seemed angry as I painted them. You can guess why. 

This is wet on wet, done in one sitting, the way it should be. My medium is finally oily enough that the paint won't dry before I finish it. I am happy with his fleshy cheeks. I'll try to set this one as my standard for the others.
