I’m sat here reading all your comments and get quite a buzz from knowing that you are all enjoying sharing your work and looking at each other’s choices . Next week we will be a year old and I really can’t believe all the excellent artwork we have seen and as someone mentioned a little while back there is far more out there . Sorry to interrupt the conversation please  do continue I’m really enjoying it. 
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Amazing that he almost folds Orson Welles' face in half -but you can still see it's Welles.

Here's another pic of the artist at work on the huge Rolling Stones painting.  He's using a tiny brush at this point... ... and here on a Robert De Niro painting. A painting he did of Richard Wagner in a 3 hour demonstration.  (A reminder - he uses acrylic). I particularly like this painting of Jimi Hendrix...see the soft focus on the leading hand. And here Sophie Loren.   He takes great liberties in this caricature...but it's still La Loren...

Another of his Impressive drawings.  Like the way he’s partially added colour.

His work is such fun to see, I have to say the size of them is so impressive. Out of the many I like I’ve picked these for no specific reason just like them.

They're all fantastic aren't they, more than caricatures somehow. I love the saxophonist and Howling Wolf, like a brooding bear, just brilliant. And the pianist! All of them!

I think he's a genius Russell.  Obviously I'm going to be impressed by the caricatures just as much as the more normal portraits. He occasionally paints differently, here's one... I love his drawings and sketches in other mediums....Lennon... This is one of his illustrations I think..... ...and another...the young 'Stones', I think... Then there's this astonishing hyper-realist portrait.  Marvelous, but I'm more taken with the caricatures, drawings, and slighter less hyper portraits.... ...but the thing that leaves me gobsmacked are some of the wilder caricatures...this isn't anything like Tina Turner, but at the same time it IS her....and only her.... ...here's another of the same artist.... There are some artists, and Sebastian Kruger is one, who when I look at their work I think 'why do I bother?'  It's just utter admiration, and, of course, I bother because I need to draw and paint.

Don’t think this one’s been shown already.  Like the sketchy style and blue/brown limited palette. Lewis, I expect we’ve all felt that way at some time or other during this series, I certainly have.  After all, we’ve chosen the best work of what we consider to be some of the best artists, so comparisons are likely to leave us a bit despondent.  Better to be inspired by them!
