Happy Valentines Day

Phwoar..a joy to see. Thanks Fiona..LOL

Lol....thought you might like him Louise.....there’s something about a half naked man in a kilt...❤️

Ahh Louise how do we know if he's naked under his kilt? Lol. I love it😚 I'm taking my rose to my WI meeting tonight as our competition is "Valentine'.

You have a winner there Margaret! Thank you. I couldn’t possibly say...🤭😍

Hmm -what can one say Fiona? Fantastic!!!

Wow Fiona who did you get to model for you hope it's warmer there than it is here or are Scottish men just more hardier lol 😀

Is he passing my way or have you nabbed him Fiona....😇❤️

Isn’t he Carol! Definitely much hardier Linda. Sorry Sylvia, I’ve nabbed him, couldn’t resist. Thank you ladies, thought he might cheer up a miserable day.

He looks a bit like Cheddar Man!

I hope I'm not protruding into a women's only session...but all the ladies commenting below have neglected to say that this is a very good painting.

So this is the sort of character lurking around your landscape, a hardy soul no less in this weather. Good drawing F.

Ah, but how would he rate against Father Jack as a Valentine, Fiona..?..((((((-:

I agree with Lewis. It's a fabulous painting, Fiona - good, solid modelling and lovely washes.

Very nice!! I’m talking about the wet in wet work of course!!! My husband made me a necklace from sea glass he found. Presented it wrapped in tissue paper in a beautiful wooden box. Wow. Didn’t know he could be romantic

Marjorie, don’t tell me they could tell he was wearing a kilt as well as having blue eyes, dark skin and curly hair?! Definitely NOT a women’s only session Lewis, doesn’t matter which sex you are to appreciate fine lines. Thank you.

Alan you would be amazed at what lurks around the landscape here, wild Haggis for a start! X Jim, I don’t think this fella would stand a chance against Jack! Thanks Seok! Of course Diana, I didn’t think you were referring to anything but the washes....lol How lovely to receive such a gift, very special, you lucky girl. I received the same as last year, only a different colour! Lol

Great painting. He has some 'presence' Fiona.

Well, the ladies certainly approve, if the shrieks are anything to go by. *smirk* Great presence and character. He reminds me of a Greek athlete, the ancient type, a young Ulysess, perhaps. I wonder what he keeps in his sporran. Great painting, just great. Brian

Ooh Fiona, what a treat.

Thanks Michael, I based his physique on what I imagine is not far from your own. Thank you very much Brian. What does he keep in his sporran? If he’s ancient, maybe a dry string for his bow, if he’s a modern male his iPhone and lipstick probably....lol Ha ha ....Janet, thank you.

Mmm....what can I say. Very nice 💙

Now who else would give this gift to us but you Fiona! 🤣🤣 He's really very well fit 🤗

I know Ellen...mmmmm!! Ha ha....Carole you know you can always count on me to lower the tone! I thought you deserved a treat. X

Love the lines of this highland fling

Good musculature - well defined. I haven't seen one of these lately!

Couldn't comment earlier because of no internet connection but better late than never. Gorgeous male and a beautiful painting Fiona!

your skills have come on in leaps and bounds Fiona ...mind you he looks ready to leap and bound .excellent work

This one must be a Scottish Hercule, Fiona!

So well done with ink Fiona. A bony lad. Lol

Excellence Fiona

Many thanks Ruth, Linda, Satu, David Cesare, John, and Dermot for your lovely comments.

Once upon a time Fiona.

I know Michael, I’ve seen the photos! Time is a cruel mistress isn’t she, that’s why we have to make the most of what we have before she ends the affair.

Och aye to that Fiona

Ha ha Dennis!

Wonderful painting Fiona. He certainly appeals to me!

Me too Dorothy, we can always dream can’t we! Thank you very much.
