Fabulous Marjorie and great palette too.

Hi Marjorie, I don't know whether to be embarassed or flattered by this stunning portrait you wanted to do of myself. It is a great work and the likeness is astonishing. You have caught very well my person more than I ever did in my selfportraits. You have shown in this portrait a great skill. As for me it is amazing as it is and it could be finished. Unfortunately I'm no longer "un bel ragazzo". Thank you very much, Marjorie.

Oh wow this is brilliant Marjorie, I can't believe you did this in an afternoon! Well done indeed, it would have taken me weeks!

Amazing work Marjorie! Bravo!

Thanks to Michael, Russell and Seok. Margaret, sometimes when you are in the mood, it is no effort - this was like that. However, I am doing a commission ( never again! ) and it is proving very difficult. Thanks too Fiona!

Very good! We all know who this is!

Done quickly this afternoon when I should have been doing something else. As you can see it's not polished or finished properly, will come back to it. It's on MDF, oil.
