Ritratto di Genitori dell'artista

This painting of my parents, which features my mother and father in their familiar daily attire, was painted as a birthday gift for my father, after the passing of my mother, last fall. I had only a week to paint it, in order to have the surprise ready for my father's birthday. As such, it is completely alla prima, with no glazing layers. I recently took this work back to my studio, with the intention of putting a hint of yellow over the flesh tones.
