Tim

Thanks so much from your compliments.

Painting is my passion and the quest to seek professionalism is my goal.

Best

The couple of remarks I have are possibly a result of the jpeg quality only but here's what I see on my PC. I wonder about values. To be specific-the darks in th distance should not be as dark as those up close. I think you might have seen a bit of warm color bounced up into the roof/porch. Additionally, there might well have been some form indicated even in the darkest parts of the dark robe in the fore as this work is outside essentially and light must bounce about. Wilson Hurley lectured me on this not too long ago.

I really do like the work and I'm reminded of Mian Situ and Ron Ricks, the CAA. I think I have his name right.

The man with the white beard. Wonderful.

Beautiful Tony! I too would love to see some close ups.

This is the best I can do as the original is in a gallery in Connecticut...

Hope this is close enough....

Tony, I really like this one too but I was referring to a diffrent one on your website. This is a lovely "artists' painting"-meaning one at least other artists would admire if not everyone.

Tony,

This is an extraordinary painting! I encourage you to post it in its own thread.

Your portrait is of a man I would want to meet, and whose face I would want to touch. Absolutely terrific.

Hi Tony,

I ditto what Chris said. That single stroke of lavender in the beard is such a nice touch.
