Introduction and hello
 

I am introducing myself by way of an image in progress. It is painted in oil on a 13"x13" wooden panel. Please tell me what you think, and ask any questions that may interest you.

Hi, Brian, and welcome to the Forum,

The odds of getting feedback on your work will improve greatly if you post it in the Critiques section. Folks are sometimes reluctant to comment at any length here in the Introduction area.

Again, welcome aboard.

Thanks
 

Thanks Steven! I have since posted the image in the critiques section; and of course you were correct as I've received a very helpful reply already! This (site) is a very exciting discovery for me. Thanks again... Brian

I like the shocking effect of that face!... and Welcome to that great "Portait Meeting Place!"

Hi Brian. I like your expressive use of color, and respect your bravery for posting a picture and requesting feedback. Welcome to the Portrait Forum. I am new as well.

Best,
Mark
