Elderly man / quick study

Superb especially under the circumstances Russell well done

Fabulous you caught that pondering look Russell, maybe in his old memories.

Aquicky for you Russell is an accomplished work to most . well done mate

Absolutely captured a great character Russell, wonderful drawing.

Wow, for a quickie it's quite special. The folds in the face are brilliant, and the expression of the mouth spot on. With it being a 'quickie' there's an element of looseness and freedom to it. A wonderful portrait.

Good work..well done.

I agree with all the other comments. A fine image. Your gallery is a gem.

You have enormous talent if this is a quickie, Russell.

Thank you all for your comments. I know that many artists on this site can paint quickly and loosely but whenever I try to paint like this I'm always left somewhat dissatisfied by the end result and with an urge to correct any obvious flaws e.g. his ear is slightly too low! A morning to 'complete' a painting is quick for me but perhaps no so rapid for others? Thanks once again for the positive comments, I truly appreciate them.

A very successful painting, Russell - I don't see any flaws!

It's a success Russell and very "painterly".

For a quick study, that's mighty fine work Russell. It would be the same had you taken a while. Nice work.

What a superb result for a quickie and worthy of wall space anywhere
