oil on ABS I have not done anything this traditional in awhile. Nice change of pace. Great family to work with - I only wish they had more children. :) |
Kim,
After they see this painting, I bet they wish they had more children that you could paint. it may be traditional, but you really captured the essence of life in this young man. Beautiful! |

I LOVE his ears. This is a beautiful painting, Kim.
And, Alex - I really admire your ability to critique so well. Remember, I officially agree with everything you say - so why don't you just put that in your signature line, okay? |

Dear Kim,
What everyone has said! This is truly superb. He has living presence. I'll add, what a great hand! You are getting frighteningly better and better! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Another new favorite! Garth |
I have to add my boring but sincere agreement with everything said thus far. A really, really great portrait. Janet

Kim, this is a terrific portrait -he's dressed up but not in the least bit stuffy, with such a lively attitude - I love it! Great technique, great pose. I really would like to see a closeup of that hand.
|
Thank you everyone - I really appreciate it. :)
Cindy - Im with you, I love everything Alex says- she is full of insight and inspiring words! Nice to see your face, by the way. Linda, I will try and get a close up of that hand before I deliver it tonight. I was concerned with the pose of that hand from the beginning - Im glad you like it Garth! (whew) |
Kim - I'm sooo jealous. Lovely work! I like the way you handled the composition as well as the wonderful rendering of a very likeable looking young man.
|
Kim, This entire portrait is very, very beautiful. The nose is wonderful. That may sound weird, but I always appreciate well painted noses, beacause I struggle with them so!

Kim,
it's a beautiful work! This red line around the neck make me think to Vermeer. And I enjoyed discover the foot in the shadow! |
You're getting better and better Kim and you're achieving your goal of transmitting feelings through your work.
Congrats on such achievement, that's a really beautiful work. |
Lovely Kim! I've got to say I love that little foot peeking out there. :)
|
Yes! I found the foot right away, I love toes. He looks like a little stinker. Kim, you just keep blowing me away.

Kim, such wonderful use of grays. The introduction of light all in the right places it is stupendous! I love it!
I second Alex, Yes, more close-ups please. |

Thank you so much for all the nice comments!
Speaking of him being a litte stinker - he actually is a sweetheart. We did two photo shoots and when we would begin, he couldnt stop himself from at least 10 minutes of making faces, sticking out his tongue, etc. He and I - we struck a deal. I told him I'd give him some of the funny face photos if he'd sit still and give me a handsome smile. The poor Mom was hovering all nervous trying to rush him. I finally kicked her out and he and I had a face-making competition for a few minutes. Im pretty sure I won. :o Im afraid my close-ups werent as clear as they should be, but here is one of the hand. |
Look out! She's on a roll...

Kim,
Your painting is not just beautifully done, but you seem to have mastered the skill on how to interact with a client (especially a little one) as well. It is not an easy task to get "that look" that once paired with the artist's skills, create a portrait that captures the soul. Very nicely done...Congratulations! |
What can I say except thanks. And thanks for the close-up of the hand. You go girl!
|
Yes, yes. Nice work.
|
Ill chime in too. Kim, youre demonstrating that persistance brings forth the answers. Really well done and good for you:-).
|
Thank you folks - I appreciate all the kind comments!

Kimberly, Once again, very nice. I really like how relaxed and comfortable he looks. What a great portrait. Congratulations! Janel |
