This is wonderful Irene. The skin tones and the softness of the piece. Love his expression and the lips, wow.

I like seeing these two paintings together, the red and the blue. Both are very appealing. You must get people begging to pose for you.

Quwwa- Thanks, Love your expressive style!

r garriott- Thanks so much for your kind words!

Barb Pask - Thanks, Barb. So glad you like it

Onpainting - Thanks Bill. It's difficult to find people willing to sit. My kids will actually run from the room.:) I spoke to the daughters of an artist friend at a show and they said it was tough to be the child of an artist. They said their dad would always approach them at the worst times. eg. 5 am arriving home from a New Year's Eve party. "Come, sit, I will paint your portrait." :) Funny to hear the other side.

This is exquisite. A really great little painting. You really did capture a feeling in it.

Bill, Just thinking about your comment about the red and blue, thinking my next painting should have been yellow :) but realized that it's violet which works! :D
