Oil on Canvas.
This is my grandpa (passed away this year) in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, which he climbed when he lived in Tanzania. This is for my Grandma for Christmas, and it was my first time doing a portrait in oils. I know they usually have a plain background, but I couldn't bear to do it! I'm open to tips for whenever I do it again as well, but please don't bash this painting particularly.

Wow, this one's pretty damn good. I guess you put a lot of effort into it because of the subject.
Sorry about your Granddad though.

Saw the portrait in person, it is awesome. I'll miss Charlie too dear niece, but I'm sure your Grandma will love the picture this Christmas.

Thanks.
That's okay, he doesn't have cancer now, so I feel better about it.

I find it harder when they pass away as you're older. The good thing is, I know he's in a better place and not suffering. He'll keep an eye on us now!
