Father in Law's hair

Comments

This is such an evocative painting. It's brilliantly painted....particulary the newspaper! Fantastic work!

Superb the small details are excellent and beautifully painted.

Superb portrait

Minor amendments but worthwhile!

The more you look, the more you see - that might sound self- evident but not every artist looks carefully ( you have ) and not every viewer examines carefully. There are so many things to admire here Darren - well done indeed.

I followed your progress on this in the Forum. A really good portrait Darren, with lots going on to interest the eye (that newspaper is particularly good) and the reflections in his glasses have worked a treat

Super portrait. Excellent detail on the newspaper

A lovely portrait with that wonderful crop of hair. Very clever use of light and shade here Darren.

A cracker Darren. And that beer looks refreshing.

An object lesson in the value of stopping for a while and having a good think, before adding more work. It's paid off.

This is my first attempt at a portrait, my late father-in-law enjoying two of his favourite things. It's 18x12 inches, oil on board. I chose the reference because I also liked the contrast of the sunlight and shade.
