My first oil portrait
I'm thinking of calling this one " Gridiron Guts & Glory." What do you think?
Remember, this is the "Unveilings" section - so no critiques here  .
Oil on canvasboard, 11 X 14.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I did this painting in 1970 - I was 12 years old then . It was my first painting ever, and (of course) it was a portrait!... sort of. I had completely forgotten that I had even done this painting

Hi David--What a fun story and how neat to rediscover your first painting effort!
I'd love to see your 'Buddhist Nun. . .' but no image is showing for it, at least on my monitor  . . .

David, I am just knocked out by your Buddist Nun. It is fantastic. Promise me you will enter this one in contest after contest, it is a real winner.
I don't know what else to say to a first-time oil painter, but I might go slit my throat with my palette knife.

I'm not sure I want to enter any competitions you are in!! Call me, we'll work something out. Seriously, thanks so much for your positive feedback.

Just make sure you don't have any flake white on your palette knife - you don't want to get lead poisoning! Really, thank you very much Linda. Coming from one as accomplished as yourself, your praise is cherished.
