Here's one I started earlier this year but had to set it aside - only lately had time to finish. Another student of mine - one of the side benefits of teaching - lots of free models!
15" X 18" - oil on canvas

David,
You have such a straightforward but elegant way with your portraits. This has such a classic, timeless feel to it and your technical prowess is up to its usual high level, already expected from you. I am taken especially by your skin tones and especially the mouth area (in this aspect she reminds me a bit of that Scarlett actress so in vogue now...the one from the "Horse Whisperer")...very fine work!

Very fine work. I admire how you keep the paint rich at the same time as taking away the brush marks.

Exquisite, David.
You have such a gift for subtlety, both in your approach to your subjects, and in the way you execute their portraits.

David,
Absolutely beautiful!
I wish I had the words to describe just how wonderfully strong I think your work is. There seems to be no area under worked or over worked.

David,
A very strong and wonderfully executed work. It has that soft, fresh feel that only the young have and you have captured it beaurtifully.
