Holding objects

[Julianne Lowman]

Marvin,

Naturalism is truly the key to a wonderful portrait. A key that seems to be difficult to find on my keyring of life, but one I will continue to search for.

You did a fabulous piece (portrait of Steve Fishbach) with a man holding a pair of glasses that, to me, was so simply natural and of the moment. The composition of the portrait was completely congruent.

As for the dentist's portrait, I don't know, I kind of like the drill in hand thing. Ha! And in the other hand, pliers and a newly pulled tooth? Or, perhaps holding a set of wind up teeth? If he was a comedic type, I might consider something fun like the latter, but he's not, so I think we'll stick with something a bit more traditional.

Thanks for the input Marvin, I watch your comments like a hawk and glean what I can digest. You da Man!
