Good Afternoon

Good afternoon Forum members,

There is so much talent and so many lovely artists here, I have found it difficult to break away from learning to introduce myself and say hello.

I have been painting for about 30 years and still consider myself a beginner. I paint with varying mediums but prefer oil and pastel for my portraits.

I enjoy painting children, they have such innocent soulful hearts, plus they make make me laugh and include me as one of them.

I have attached a photograph of myself with one of my endearing subjects and her portrait.

Look foward to meeting you, sharing insights and mostly learning. Good wishes for a inspiring new year!

Yours in art,
Robin Manjone

Hi, Robin.

I love the painting. I agree with you on the children; I love the way that every little emotion shows on their faces. Thanks for sharing.

Happy New Year!

Hi Robin,

That work looks really beautiful and seems to be a very true likeness. Do you think you can post a clearer view of the painting, perhaps in one of the unveiling sections? Also, is the work an oil or pastel?

Hello Diana and Rochelle,

Thank you for your comments. This painting is an oil. I will try and post a better picture of this piece at a later date.

Good creative wishes for the new year!

Robin
