latest portrait,thinkin its done

put me on the list

I think this is done.Any ideas on how to improve it,color ,edges,temp etc.Need a second opinion.

beautifully drawn .I hope to see the finished product

how far into the background should I continue with the pallet knife?

Thanks to you both for your comments.I'm taking a second look at those shadows.Thanks again .... Zookeeper

not satisfied with the back ground but ya got ta stop sometime.Any suggestions though might open my eyes.

I will be sending a 30 x 30 painting from ny to mass.,any tips?

maybe a bit of rework around the mouth

I have put this painting aside for a couple of months out of frustration. Why isn't it working?

thanks artfont,when I bring it to the client next week lets hope he agrees with you.

thank you all for your comments.the painting is done in oils. the sailing motif because the subject had sailed in 12 foot seas.

I was asked to paint from a photo but switch the heads.The photo of the new head was of poor quality and facing the wrong direction.My concern is did I get a reasonable likeness?

thanks BYart, its done

thanks I needed that

almost done but can't see the forest for the trees.New eyes would help.

Several issues with this painting,relative value of distant trees,skin tone,hands,etc.Comments welcome.

Thanks for the advice, You make several good points. I guess I have a lot of work to do.
thanks again ,dan

nope,same as you,just keep pluggin away.Some good days some days not so good.
