Mr Geraint Jones by Russell Edwards

If this is a looser approach, Russel, I wonder what is a realistic approach. Good painting.

He looks so real, very natural portrait Russell.

Fabulous work in nailing the mood as well as the likeness. Nicely done Russell.

Yes the hardest of portraits laughing you have made a magnificent job Russell brilliant

Your a superb Draughtsman Russell this is a beauty

What a brilliant portrait you can almost hear him laughing

great portrait, Russell

A wonderful painting Russell.

I wouldn't call it "looser" Russell but, my goodness, it is magnificent!

Thank you Cesare, Carole, Jim, Dennis and Dennis, Carolyn, Timothy, Margaret and Adele for your lovely comments. I appreciate them greatly. My 'looser' approach meant less blending and fiddling and trying to be a little bolder with my brush strokes.

Very good work

Fantastic portrait. He looks like a happy man, you captured it well, Russell.

You've done a superb job here Russell , full of character and superbly painted
