Portrait study#86 Mr. Smith in progress

Oil on canvas
45cm x 53cm
Every time when I go to my piano lesson or pick up my kids from our piano teacher. I always see Mr. Smith who has a very nice facial contour with beautiful white braids sits in front of his house. I thought I had to ask him to pose for me. Well... I did. And, we worked this afternoon. Here's the portrait in progress. He is supposed to come back next Friday again. He's a great model...I'll paint him very often. I'm not sure if this was the right background color. Too colorful?
