Portrait of Alf

Comments

I'm a complete beginner, so am pleased with this first portrait.

It looks great, well done.

Aww lovely 😍

You've done a smashing job with, Alf's portrait. I see a little cheekiness in his right eye and an adoration in the other. Well done, Pat.

I nice portrait of you pet , you have done really well, I don’t find animals that easy to do . Well done for persevering with it , now you have done it hopefully you will do more.

Well done you Pat, you should be pleased with yourself

Lovely work, with lovely use of expressive marks and lines.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Something was bothering me about this portrait. I finally worked out what it is. The right side of the nose/mouth (looking at the painting) is too wide. I've changed it digitally (new pic attached) and am waiting until I feel brave enough to attempt the correction in paint.

And, of course, I can't work out how to update the image.
