Hi there. Thank you all for your flattering comments. These comments inspire me to do more and to do it even better!!! Here is the picture a step further. I moved the boat and added two temporary characters. I want to model realistic characters for this picture. So, the 'blue people' is just there t...

Thank you very much for the nice comments!!!

Here is my latest project. I need to do a LOT of work still. Want to add one or two characters and the boat is in the wrong place. Please tell what you think and what I can do to improve!!!???

I hope you put these images to canvas one day. What a terrible waste it would be if you do not!!!

Very pretty and deeply moving!

Evil!!! There is some deep rooted twisted-ness in this image. It tantalizes the imagination! Very good image!

This is way to detailed to be called a doodle. Superior image. Would love to see it in color.

You are very talented. This is a very nice drawing. Soulful, if I may say so!

What a noble creature you have painted! Very good!!!

I like this painting very much. Nice colors and very exciting movement. There is however one mistake in my view. The hand on the left (her right hand) is wrong. If her palm is facing us, the thumb should be pointing towards her face. Please tell me if I am wrong! Keep up the good work.

Anatomy is the most difficult subject. The pose you have selected is not the easiest either! I would consider your painting a good rendering of the male figure. Keep on painting the male figure!!!

Very nice atmosphere! Love the colours.

Finished this one yesterday (11 April 2009)

Commission:
Oil on canvas
18 X 24 inches

Snazzy! Very engaging image.

Rrsum: I would never rent it to a friend, but rather borrow it to you for how long you might need it!!! Thank you for the nice compliment.

Brian and Katie: Thank you for your nice compliments!

Keep well everyone!

Hi Krysta I think you are one ave woman. I do not like to paint portraits, because it is so technically challenging. I would rather paint my kitchen walls. I think you did a marvelous job of the portrait and the improvements made a huge difference. I would give you two thumbs up!!! Keep well. Riaan
