And your painting has captivated me! The beauty of the face, the subtlety of your tones and the wonderful expression captured in the eyes. You have chosen the most harmonious, but interesting colours. Absolutely love this painting.

I couldn't put it better than Thea. A top notch painting.

I'm pleased you both like it. Thank you for your comments. Max

Max, to use a very Bristolian expression, this is lush! You have a painting to be very proud of.

I really like the way you have painted this - I love the brushstrokes and the way you have captured the light in the painting. Very well done.

I agree with all the above comments. I love this.

A great painting.

What can I say? It's all been said, a beautiful painting, the eyes are amazing.

I agree with everybody. A great painting!

I think this is just fab ... the sort of thing I aspire to ... just love the brush strokes, colours, everything!

Thank you all for your comments..I never thought it was that good, just another step on the road to further developing my style and vison. I'm very flattered. Max

There are many portraits in these galleries, some of them really excellent in their own way and style but I would honestly say this is my favourite of all of them for the style and the "apparent" simplicity of it. It's just so light and soft and airy, the colours work incredibly well and it all just pulls together so naturally.

A wonderful painting! I agree with all the above.

Max, I hope you don't mind, I mentioned your painting on my description as I was so inspired by it. Mine is not a patch on yours, but I loved painting it all the same.

Just saw your painting on the side gallery, caught my eye, and the girl's also, great style, a real winner!
