Ngaire, thank you for the compliments I appreciate you thoughts. This gent I met last year. He is a retired soccer referee. Quite a sense of humor and a pleasant person to speak with.

Some time ago I learned a important lesson, in regard to art, and that lesson was "Don't ever be afraid to do something thinking that you mite make a mistake. First figure out what you wish to do, why and how to do it. If it turns out bad and you cannot correct it don't fret start over. This time armed with new knowledge you will do a better job."

Mischa,

I think I know why this piece received such great attention. You did not just paint a likeness, but you captured the psychology of this individual. There is some sparkle that crosses over from the painting to the viewer that captures the latter's attention.

Happy to hear that it was so well received!

Enzie, thank you for taking the tame to say so. What was interesting was, a number of people identified with it by saying something like "I know this guy, we know this man, he looks much like my father" etc. It was quite interesting to hear all the comments in regard to this portrait. I exhibited mostly portraits and figurative works, works like the boy in the window. I shared this charcoal peace with the forum a while back. In reality they were not works that someone would purchase. Still, many did ask for my card and asked some good questions.

Enzie, I am glad to see the improvement in your work. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. I really appreciate your honesty and the new drive to understand the craft. This fact speaks wonders about who you are. I wish you good success.

Mischa, he's definitely a character we can relate to, and you've caught that in your portrait. I can see why people reacted so positively and personally to it. Your work deserves notice and I'm so glad you had the opportunity to be in this exhibition.

Mischa, good advice. I think we should always have one eye on the next painting.

A very compelling portrait you've created. You've really captured a specific character here. Fine job!
