Portrait still life

I have a large and mostly dusty stack of art books that I have accumulated over the years and most of those books have challenges, suggestions, techniques, how to's and exercises.  My intention is to go through them, one by one in order.


I am starting with "One Painting a Day" by Timothy Callaghan

Exercise 12:
Portrait Still Life
To paint a still life with objects that represent someone.  I chose my 8 yr old son.
