You always manage to convey the sitter's personality and character and here's another to add to your super gallery.

What a great characterful face, good use of shade to model the face and figure.

Once again - a stunning portrait. I feel I could just reach out and touch Osvaldo's face and it would be warm with real substance. That's a right good talent you have got there, Kim!

I have been staring at his face for a long time and as Thea said, one could touch the skin and feel the warmth. A super watercolour Kim and so beautifully painted!

hi Kim this is a lovely piece of work very impressive indeed

Superb, again. I might get my watercolours out today for somethingother than disasterous abtracts. I have two oil paintings on the go, but one has to wait for it to dry!

You've put on a bit of weight Kim :-). Superb portrait as always

Another super portrait Kim!

Splendid work, Kim! Absolutely love the fall of light across his face, and the superb tonal work. Best of all, you've managed to convey so much personality in this beautiful portrait.

Great portrait Kim

A superb addition. His features are so real.......

He does have an expressive face, benevolent even. But Osvaldo can be quite an awkward character too if you get on the wrong side of him. Many thanks for your supportive feedback.

Here's another from my 'Chiavenna characters' series. Osvaldo spends the summer sitting on a bench in the square outside my house, often clad in nothing but shorts eating mozzarella cheeses from the bag, . Which can be quite unsettling owing to his great girth. He was quite happy to smile for me before resuming his meal.
