I'm with Carl on this one. I can paint a gourd or perhaps a wine bottle in a 2 hour session. A portrait? Oof, I really need to be on fire to have that happen.




Chris,

Rob is right. Even without "color" your work is exuberant and exuding with color effects! There is so much energy and life in this portrait. The way you use black and white, they are colors. Well done!

Garth
