Really good Lew, even down to the shadow from his cap peak!

He looks might fun and I absolutely love the positioning within the frame and his gaze outwards

A splendid drawing Lew, I like the empty space, I suppose you could have added a clipper on the horizon…

It makes you wonder what is on his mind. A lovely painting Lew.

You can't help but wonder, what's his story? Well done Lew.

Excellent picture, looking forward to the finished painting.

Wonderful character and I like the placing in the frame, with his eyes gazing out to sea Lewis.

Super painting Lewis.

I like the off-centre composition.

Makes you wonder what is going through his mind, lovely work Lewis.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Tue 20 Jan 14:58:52

He looks an interesting character - good work, Lewis!

Gorgeous work

You should have made it a porthole Lewis….I like it very much.

Sometimes it’s quite a challenge to paint small Lewis. I led a trading cards evening at our art club last year, painting 2.5x3.5 inch card is definitely tricky!

Posted by Frank Bingley on Wed 21 Jan 07:20:52

Thanks again for your comments, very much appreciated. Yes Frank, miniatures are tricky. I can just about manage the 6 x 4 size these days…years back I did some 3 x 4 inch. I admire miniaturist artists.

Great format Lewis……looks good in the frame.

Actually a study for a larger painting, the sailor will be part of it. Initially I just did the sailor, then thought I'd see how the little pic looked in a frame (after adding a quick background). Watercolour on sepia pen drawing.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
