All good Lewis, I particularly like the optimist. I live with a large oak at the back and a weeping ash at the front and if I had a penny for every leaf I collected I’d be a rich man.

Love these Lewis, especially the "Optimist"!

Posted by David Stevens on Tue 31 Oct 07:31:04

All good and, yes, the optimist is my favourite too

Posted by Heather Love on Tue 31 Oct 07:36:31

I rather like the blank canvas chap! Very familiar look. All good.

All three are excellent and skilfully done, if ask to choose after some consideration it’s definitely the optimist.

I like your thought process Lew and the resulting Optimist. Very familiar with the vacant expression of the Top one though

It’s always interesting to see what you come up with Lewis. The nose seems to be a very important part of your art.

The top picture resonates with most of us Lewis. Super art work as always.

Think we can all relate to the top one! Great paintings.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Tue 31 Oct 09:31:34

Ah the top one. Looks like my latest painting.

What a good idea Lewis and the artwork is great.

Posted by Denise Cat on Tue 31 Oct 10:04:07

It all starts with a blank canvas, really good Lew🙂

All skillfully drawn characters Louis, I like number 1.

Brilliant as always, Lewis.

Posted by Carol Jones on Tue 31 Oct 17:52:00

Recognise the top one - me at times !

Posted by Christine Rogan on Tue 31 Oct 19:51:45

Brilliant as always!

Three skilfully and beautifully drawn and painted. Like all three but more often feel like the one at the top!

Posted by Spencer Lambeth-Angell on Tue 31 Oct 20:21:23

Great and skilfull work as always, Lewis - love all the expressions!

They are all great , I could be the optimist too with my leaves, and also can relate to the top one

When stuck, I sometimes think of a word and try to illustrate it. We used to do that at my art club. I chose 'optimist.' Leaves everywhere, so I combined the two. Bottom right is a pen drawing that I chose to colour with flat colours using photoshop...might try a few more. The top pic is for something else I'm doing.

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.
