I made some more progress on this double portrait of a good friend's parents that I'm doing from an old photograph that measures about 1 1/2" x 1". Taken in the forties in one of those little booths that you sit down in and pay a quarter to get 4 or 5 pictures taken and processed in about 3 minutes. I scanned it and blew it up to 8 x 10 so I had some chance of seeing the details. It is a black & white print so I'm just making up the color. Fun project - 14" x 18" oil on canvas.
