Reference Photo for Portrait of Us


This is the reference photo for the double portrait I have been painting.  This is a vacation photo of this couple, riding a motorbike on a coast road in Santorini, Greece. Yesterday i pronounced the portrait finished, but I have to admit that I made a few very tiny changes this morning. (I may take one more photo of the painting tomorrow, before I pack it up for delivery.)  This photo is an unusual choice for a portrait, but it was chosen because it represents a very happy memory. That's what I like best about this photo and I tried to communicate that in my painting.
