Portrait of my friend Unto by Satu Vartiainen

What a shame. Lovely portrait though. Well captured Satu.

Touching portrait Satu. Well done.

A very sensitive portrait Satu. Despite his troubles I can detect a smirk around his mouth and a joyful character. Beautifully painted, with fondness I expect.

You've caught the character of him Satu and I like the unusual colours you've used.

What a lovely portrait Satu. painted with affection which shines through.

Poignant, skillful.

a very touching expressionist portrait Satu

Thank you so much Henry, John, Fiona, Marjorie, Louise, Michael and David for your kind comments. Unto used to be such a happy and joyful man but seems to have given up a bit. I'm very fond of him and so glad that it shines through.

Yes you have Satu, but his face still has a lightness of spirit about it.

Beautiful sensitive portrait, Satu, he seems still an happy man.

It's beautiful Satu , my heart goes out to your friend, you done a lovely job you've captured his fragility, well done Satu .

Thank you very much Carole, Cesare and Dennis for your kind comments. Much appreciated as always.

Extremely evocative and even without the explanation one would have got the feeling things are afoot. Great painting.

Thank you very much Gudrun

Thank you Michael, he is a great guy.
