Very beautiful work,
You must be a very patient person, there are so many details in this painting.

Look forward to seeing the other ones in this series...

My Goodness, Deladier. This is just an incredible painting! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: When will your series be on exhibit?

And your subject just got a drink from the female hot-beverage-dispenser/birdbath?! Deladier, I love it! And I also love your bold, fluid, painterly style.

Deladier,

Great job! You have a truly individual style which I particularly appreciate since I have had the pleasure of seeing two of your originals!

Nice to see you again.

Thank you for the good words, guys.

The series will be shown in the fall of 2006 at the John Natsoulas gallery, in Davis, CA, celebrating its (the gallery's), 20th anniversary.

This piece, however, will be featured in the "What is Realism?" show which will take place at the Albemarle gallery, in London, from July through September, 2005.

Linda, I believe you are referring to "Buns", the coffee maid.

I want to add here that Clayton Bailey is incredible - truly a creative genius - and it was my luck, and an honor, and a pleasure, to work with him.

Deladier, this is just breathtaking! The whole painting looks alive and ready for action. I bet you must have had a great time talking to the artist as well. What a creative mind he must have.

Congratulations on having an exhibit in London! This piece will definately be a huge hit there.

This is just fabulous and great fun as well!

Wonderful and hysterically funny! I don't see many portraits that are serious art and humorous at the same time. And your style just fits the subject. What original work!
