Sir Winston Churchill

Terrific portrait Maria! So like him.

excellent likeness. love how you've done those wrinkles.

Thank you very much Lin and Andy, I really appreciate your feedback.

Wow! I like how he fills the whole canvas with authority and strength! Brilliant!

Wonderful likeness

A superb portrait Maria. I love the tonal variation you have achieved in the skin. Altogether a very impressive painting.

This, I think, is a study based on the Youssuf Karsh photograph of him - Karsh apparently whipped the cigar out of his hand and then took the photograph, in order to convey the right note of angry defiance .... which would have worked on me, too.......

The man who helped us through the war. A great person at the right time This is a fantastic likeness and shows his firm but human side. Well done Maria.
