I moved the original post here to a new thread under Techniques, Tips, and Tools because I did not want to take away from Marvin's work with a side discussion. The thread is titled Painterly vs. Detailed. http://forum.portraitartist.com/show...&threadid=1390

Marvin, I love this painting. I keep coming back to it just to look. He has such a soft fluid look to him that the word that comes to mind is "aquiline". He is the definition.

Thanks
 

Jean,

Thank you for your kind response. I get great satisfaction by painting portraits. I put my heart and soul into every painting and I'm always happy when a portrait evokes a strong reaction.

Thanks again, you made my day!

Marvin where is your portrait? I was looking forward to a great treat and I see nothing not even the usual box with an x in it?

Tammy,

I don't know why, but it happens like that sometimes. Try this: right click your mouse on the red "x". A box should appear with options. One should read "show picture" click on that and another attempt will be made to load the picture. Sometimes that's all it takes. Other times the problems are more severe and won't be solved this easily.

I'm seeing the picture just fine Tammy. Also try clicking your browser refresh button.

Thanks, Cynthia and Mike but I still get nothing maybe my pc is on strike.

Stunning and I love the detail you have shown... the lips... has anyone mentioned the lips? :thumbsup:
