Young Man




Well, here is the finished painting of a young man I know. He has a brother that I will be doing as soon as he's back from South Africa.

A heartfelt thank you to all who made suggestions and pushed me farther. It was well worth the extra work. Allan, Michele, Patricia, Terri, Chris, Kim, wow you guys are great!

For some reason the reds are too intense and I can't adjust them so try to see this thru filtered eyes.

Jean

This was a fun painting!

Thank you Julie, Kim and Allan. I'm going to try and get a better photo up tomorrow, I finally complained enough to get Photoshop Elements reinstalled on our computer. We had a big crash a while back, so now we have all new guts, It's bigger and faster but still missing half of our old programs.

Allan, I guess it's play time!

Better photos! There is a little glare but the color is much more realistic and he doesn't have red blobs on his forehead anymore. I took the earlier photos outside and they really turned out bad.

Thank you Heidi and Garth, two artists I admire greatly. Your appreciation has made my day.

Earlier, I forgot to thank Linda Brandon for her suggestions. So, thank you Linda!
