Very good quickie Marjorie

Aghhh… taken from my avatar in The Artist of course, I was at my easel painting when it was taken. I look pretty intense… well I normally am when painting… nobody ever told me that it was supposed to be a relaxing hobby! Not a bad likeness Marjorie!

You have caught the light well Marjorie, and the basics are in pace.

Alan, I was hoping you wouldn’t be offended😳😆. The photo was perfect re lighting…I didn’t spend too long on it, just enjoyed putting on the paint, yes, I could probably get a better likeness if I’d spent longer.

Shocked to see myself, never offended Marjorie. You’ve captured my totally engrossed expression perfectly!

Posted by Alan Bickley on Tue 30 Jan 17:07:24

Very good work Marjorie, you have caught Alan’s keen concentration as he works. I always grumble when people tell me how ‘relaxing’ painting must be!
