Just posted my last of the day, a portrait of my daughter Hollie in oils: https://www.painters-online.co.uk/Gallery/Anth-Knight-Hollie-Portrait/_ga74077_pg1 Anth.
welcome.. nice to see your work and your daughters likeness
Thanks for the welcome Alan :)
Like your work: I saw your points about gaudy colours, or unsubtle ones ....  I think there's a place for the unsubtle - we had decades, centuries even, of the subtle, although much of the time the subtlety we saw was the consequence of decades of browning varnish.  I think the old masters expected that, though: they knew their paintings would change over time.  <div> </div><div>In short - because, let us be honest, one does run on now and then - I wouldn't worry about subtlety; I'm sure the old fellers didn't, and I don't think you need to.  </div>
