This is my favorite. This is because, it turned out to be much more of a challenge than I had first anticipated. I like the look of withered looking things standing alone. I'm not saying It's my best, there is need for much improvement but it's my favorite. I would hope to do a similar painting in the future and do a much better job of it.

Difficult but this is one of my favourites. A quick oil sketch, straight on to unprimed mdf( unfortunately) of my daughter when she was choosing reading glasses for the first time. She discounted these - too Edna Everidge. I remember feeling elated when I did this because it just seemed to work straight away, one of those rare times. I also love painting her ( and my grandchildren ), I know I smile while I'm in the process.

This is a tough one, ask me tomorrow and I'll probably make different choices. I expect that goes for all of us. I'm afraid I'll have to pick three. I do cartoons, the occasional realistic painting, and I used to like digital (can't do it now).
This was part of a group of eight 6 x 4 drawings of Dickens characters, it's the only one I got right first time (well, I thought so). Typical of my stuff...a drawing that's been coloured. Not sure that I'd call them paintings.
Bill Sykes...I thought it the best thing I did that year.
For a realistic drawing/painting I go back to 2011. This was painted with a cheap Reeves set of watercolours...you'll know them, about eight colours in a tin, cost about a fiver. I like this because it's odd, and I like odd...trouble is, they don't always work out.
Girl with toucans and parrots...
I used to love working in digital, don't do it now, hands too wobbly so everything takes so long for me. I loved the endless fiddling you could do.
Dwarf...digital...a pen drawing 'painted' in Photoshop Elements...
Actually my favorite picture is a copy of a Manet painting, don't think they count.
This thread has already thrown up a few surprises, look forward to seeing more.

This is my favourite. It's one of the first portraits I painted. It's special to me because he's a very good friend - an ex Jesuit priest, Jamaican and with the kindest gentlest aura of any man I've met. He's married to a good friend of mine so there's no funny business! I also like it because of its soft muted colours and I believe I've captured his essence.
