Thank you too JC!

As I wrote to Dark I learned a lot about adding skin texture after reading both your comments which will really help for future portraits.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much George!  His beard and hair were why I wanted to paint him in the first place and I did learn a ton.

BTW — I went w a friend to where he works and he walked in and had SHAVED OFF HIS BEARD.

At first I wondered if he hated my portrait so much that he took it off — but he explained he had a job interview.  : )

Thanks to all of you again.

So I finished a new portrait commission.  This one had some interesting lighting to deal with and a good challenge with that jacket.


Haven't shared this with his mom yet — hope she likes it  : )




And a look at a few steps along the way




I came across an older light caricature portrait I was working on of a UK politician who was involved in some kind of scandal and was photographed leaving court.

I really love his 'haunted' expression and those LINES — unless I get too busy I think this will be the next one I finish




Thanks for lookin' in.
