Taciturn by Lynne Gold

Lynne, This is a very affective portrait. Love your impasto work. Definitely meant to be viewed further away as with all artwork. Lovely Jeannette

Hi Lynne, this is quite a full on painting I think. Work well from afar as jean sais. Hard to paint like this and pull it off too. Paint on mate.

Great painting. The impasto is fabulous - I like to look at impasto close up!! Jean

Textures have worked brilliantly the composition works well, Pleas don't lose that little hint of neck if you frame it.

Yes I agree with all the above - and why not indeed! :-) Each medium has its own inherant individual special qualities and we need to enjoy and explore those to the maximum. You are doing this here by not only painting but sculpting the forms and feeling the textures of hair and flesh with the sensitivity of your paint brushes tip. Clearly a painting that you have enjoyed?

i think in art it doesn't matter how you get the end result if it looks right you ve acheived what you set out to acheive and this certainly looks right to me...chris

I found this in error...but I agree with all the above comment...I like what I see here.
