Cody by Joan Lewis

He is rather handsome Joan. Lovely eyes and very appealing expression on his face too.

Super portrait Joan!

Thank you ladies, The client gave me a photograph of Cody when he was young, and his face was in a lot of shade, so much so you actually couldn't see his eyes!! He now has a lot of grey around his face and of course when I was painting I was talking to the Cody I had met rather than the one in the photograph and I found it VERY challenging. Certainly don't recommend it as a way to paint a portrait!!!

Love it Joan just trying a pastel portrait of my nephews dog Dexter hope it turns out ok.

A beautiful expressive portrait, Joan....superbly painted.
