Posthumous Portraits: Getting ready to paint my first Doctor in oil, the International portrait commision

I am honored to have been chosen for a posthumous portrait of a doctor which will hang in a hospital abroad. I will start this soon during the summer. I am pleased to take on portraits that will hang internationally and this one will hang in India to honor this lovely man.
