Portrait of my Brave Blood Brother.

Comments

Lovely portrait Michael, very good expression.

I open the gallery and this is the first painting I see, and wow Mick, it’s excellent! I can see the likeness.....proud, brave and uncompromising. The red headband looks good and I see you share a fondness of wearing beads......but only at the weekend did you say? You must be chuffed with how it has turned out.

That's very good Michael. Really good skin tones and well painted.

Thank you David, Fiona and Jim. I am pleased with it. Yes I do like wearing beads Fiona, ever since the 60s and I was one of the Flower People in San Francisco. Let’s go.

Wow Michael, a force to be reckoned with. Wish I knew you when you were around in the Flower Power era. I bet you were fun. Joking apart,I really admire the sensitivity, and nobility in the face Michael.

Thanks Carole. Your inspiration is appreciated. I don’t think I ever slept then. I was little more than a wild beast.

Very strong dramatic painting full of feeling.

Thanks for your encouragement Val-Irene.

Super painting, I love it! And thanks for putting a smile on my face with your comments below : )

Good looks run in the genes Michael 😊

Fancy having a blood brother like this, super work as always. Yeh for hippies, was one myself! One of my favourite tracks is Scott McKenzie's San Francisco ... takes me right back.

Thanks Carole and Heather. Tonto McManus, another one of the beautiful people. Hi, let’s go ladies.

I mean, ‘Hi ho, let’s go’ Tonto.
