Great skill with the facial features and hair. Very well done.

Really well done, super tones.

This is, as usual with your portraits, suberb, Heather. Hope you continue with oils! The thinning hair is masterful, as are the skin tones!

Super skin and hair, and that expression fits the title to a T!

This is wonderful! I admire the way you’ve captured the light in his eyes, and his wariness.

This is fabulous Heather. Skin tones are really challenging but you've cracked it, and his expression is marvellous. More

Sorry, I posted mid-sentence. I was going to say, I look forward to seeing more portraits in both acrylics and oils.

Posted by Kylia Eastwell on Thu 09 Jul 21:05:31

So love the hair and texture - plus the expression. Really difficult composition well mastered xxxxx

Wow, thats a really good painting. I particulary like the texture you have painted in the hair and eyebrows.

Great portrait Heather, there's nothin' worse than man-flu.

Posted by Trev Goodwin on Tue 05 Oct 17:11:09

Hi Heather, ah now I know I’m always looking at landscapes or seascapes. I must say you have a real talent for portraits something I’m hopeless at but this and a all your work is to be commended, I can relate to this one as I went down with man-flu last Monday and still have it on top of all my my ongoing health issues but you have captured the moment perfectly! I’m jealous of your talent!!

Posted by William Jones on Wed 20 Mar 14:00:34

A3 Oil. My first attempt at using oil for portraits rather than acrylic. A whole new ball game! Apologies for the title but I gave it this before the dread coronavirus and I felt it perfectly summed up how he was feeling late last year.

About the Artist

Heather Love

I started to paint in 2018 . I started with acrylics and now use only oils and mainly canvas on board. Most of my portraits are 38 cms x 60 cms or thereabouts. Am still on a big learning curve but really enjoying the process and discovering new techniques very step of the way! I go to art class…
