"Roland William Jackson"
 

This 34 x 40" oil is now signed and en route to the framer. It will be unveiled Saturday at a benefit dinner. Phew!!! Thank you all so very much for you valuable critiques in the critique forum... I think you will see how many of your kind suggestions have been kept in mind for the final stages. I think you should all sign it with me! I hope you are proud of your humble student.

Beautiful, Jeanine. And I for one appreciate you posting this portrait as you worked on it. I hope you're not auctioning it off at the benefit dinner!

Thank you so much, Mari! I am delighted you like the final result. It is the display for a portrait gift certificate that will be auctioned, but the painting will come home with us!

Bravo Jeanine!
What a wonderful portrait and a great expression. He looks like a kind and caring man. I recently displayed a portrait for a charity auction event like you did. It's a win win situation and a good way to get local exposure.

Excellent Jeanine! You brought everything together beautifully. I love the colors that you used in his skin tone.

Thank you, Steven. I hope the painting will drive up the bidding for a terrific environmental education cause.

Renee, I am so glad you like the end result. Your influence from the critique forum is represented in added coolness in select areas of fleshtones.
