Portrait of the artist in a grumpy mood the other day.

I wonder if this is a mirror image. If it is then you have ever excuse to look grumpy, while trying to draw. You look as though you are concentrating intensely. Nice portrait!

Thanks Linda. From a recent passport photo.

We've all been there! Great pastel portrait

Thanks Heather. I always keep it handy in case I need to escape abroad in a hurry.

Should see me first thing....or maybe don't. Nice portrait Michael.

Thanks Syvia.

This is great Michael.

A good pastel portrait Michael, its amazing how the pigment shows a lighter shade and lifts the expression into a stare from the eyes, well done! I find experimenting with different mediums useful although need practice in colour transition when application from drawing in pencil line!

Very nicely done

Thank you Paul, Angela and Romila.

Always good at expressions Michael! I can’t imagine you grumpy!

Thanks Carole. I think I’m hardly grumpy.

You’ve still managed to keep a twinkle in those lively eyes. The medium works really well here Michael.

Thanks Carole.

A great self portrait! Well painted! Did you serve in Ark Royal on her 5th commission? 1964 to 66?
