I remember this piece well. This is the painting that introduced me to your work many moons ago, actually about two years ago. I know that your first love is oil but I wish you would paint more watercolors, you have a nice touch with the medium.
i like this! i would like to see more of your watercolor work. nice fresh feeling to this one..and the color is vibrant.
Thank you all for kind words... Someday, I hope to illicit similar - and more - excitement from my oil portraits... A note about the red nose: I agree that it is a tad harsh, but it is a trademark of the Master Watercolorist, Charlie Reed that I studied with in January of 1999! WOW - Time does fly when you're painting!
Nothing wrong with your second love.
very nice touch with the hat, hair and hand. Nice washy feeling to the rest. Beatiful.
I'm really not sure what Beatiful is but it's Beautiful too.
The red nose doesn't bother me at all. Actually, many beginning painters don't put enough red in the nose or don't put any red at all. The human face is composed of many different colors and the reds of the face are contained in the areas where flesh meets bone & cartlidge(nose,ears,cheeks,chin).
you do have a nice touch with watercolor. Reminds me of Burton Silverman a bit.
I know she has put me in my place!
She is probably right, but I don't like it!
I have seen some of your other watercolor work and think you have a natural water color talent.
In this one the hand hanging down seems a little big... Yes?
The wonderful lose sketch talent hat you have comes through here.
No it really does not matter.
in a kind way I hope.
