It's simple but I'll take it on and post it more finished later thanks Carole

I think this works very well Dennis, people often overwork portraits.

Thanks Stephen I wasn't sure if anyone would like this,maybe they see it as unfinished , but you do and that's good enough for me mate

Your portrait are really superb, Dennis. Great character.

Thankyou very much Cesare most appreciated mate

Lovely portrait Dennis, I think this is lovely as is.

I love your portraits too Dennis and this is no exception. I like the 'unfinished' feel but I'm not sure I agree with Stephen's opinion regarding 'people often overwork portraits,' I also love to see detailed portraits as well.

Really good Dennis but I can't place who it is!

Thanks David very much appreciated

Thanks Russell and I agree with you highly finished or quick and both have there own beauty, I really love light and atmosphere in a painting

Thanks Satu I like impressions but I do also love Rembrandt for instance highly finished but always full of atmosphere

Thanks Margaret but I can't tell you who he is I don't watch television hardly at all.

Excellent portrait whoever he is. There is a fine balance to strike with minimal and detailed approaches. A wrong mark can kill off either. That sounds rather dramatic, but I hope you know what I mean.
