This painting has been sort of a pain and a joy. Although I really like the photo and the challenge of getting the likeness correct, there are still things that bother me. I have wiped out the eyes and re-painted them twice. Still not sure about them. The hair and beard need lots more attention and I really don't want to over work it. It sits and stares at me for days at a time until I just have to fiddle with it some more! LOL!!!
wow, i must have been in a fugue state the last few weeks as i completely missed this and a couple other of your last paintings. this guy has a huge character and you have captured it well. i hope you post this when you finish. enjoy the rest of the summer, dena.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob. I've been hard at work trying to learn how to do landscapes so I've been a bit slow getting back to old Caswell. I want so badly to be able to paint some of the locales that we visit on our travels. Certainly not as easy as faces, in my opinion but I am determined to master this!
