Thank you my friends,

[Sharon Knettell]

Allan,

What a great painting, in compostion and color! You are really coming in to your own with an original point of view.

I really like the fact that you have done a sensitive, yet unsentimental picture of this young man. So refreshing!

Allan,
What a very beautiful handling of this subject. Great composition and mood. I am envious of your painterly style. Keep up the great work.

I love this painting, Allan! What a powerful, emotional piece, and despite all the strong warm color you have such beautiful controlled brushwork. Please enter this one in some contests, please!

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Allan, this is fantastic work, really.
As Linda said it is very emotional and there is a real engagement and relationship between painter and sitter.
Also such a good management of reds
Many compliments
Ilaria

Allan,

I agree with Sharon and all your above deserved accolades for this wonderful poetry on a theme of red. Your color sense is developed into a language of emotion and innocent play and spontaneity which perfectly represents your grandson's personality and vitality.

And you did this masterpiece in one day!! I am really scared (and jealous) of you. Bravo!

Linda is right too. Please see how far this painting will advance you in competitions. You may be surprised. Go for it!
