white beard by dennis roberts

Wonderful expression and tones, Dennis. Love his eyes and the slight tilt of his head. Simplicity of image, colours and tones works really well. I've not painted for a while. I need to do a couple this month and get back into it again as I've got a small exhibition at Bridlington in Summer. I mainly paint outdoors, which I much prefer, but it's been a bit too cold!

Thankyou Pat . He is one of my favourites , I love the lighting at the side of his head . Yes Pat come on get back into your painting , and good luck with your exhibition in the summer , I look forward to seeing what you do in the oncoming months . Thankyou again Pat .

And the perfect backdrop Dennis. Magnificent

This is super Dennis.

Wonderful portrait, made all the more striking from such a simple palette.

Thankyou very much all your comments are very much appreciated indeed

A riveting piece, Dennis. The light on his face truly brings the portrait to light.

To life, I mean.

Thanks Seok i realised what you meant . I just put another white beard on at two different stages when i saw you email i thought you meant that white beard . I love lod guys with big beards they are great subjects and fun to paint .
