Teddy Roosevelt

This week's Daily Paintworks challenge was to paint something from a room in the White House. Naturally I couldn't stop myself from attempting to copy Sargent's iconic portrait of Theodore Roosevelt. Since I painted it in "one go", I couldn't slow down and finish it off as I'd like to. But on the other hand, I like the loose, slap-dash quality of my painting sketch. Perhaps once again, it's time to put down the brushes and leave well enough alone.
