Garth,
I like your little skiers, both of them. Funny how you have balanced the symbol of the land, the flag, with a painting of the pleasures of the country, skiing.
He seems to be both kind, pawky and very much alive.
Excellent painting as always.

Dear Cynthia,
As the one behind the brush, it is hard to get accustomed to such words. Gosh, thank you!

Wonderful Garth!! You deserve every one of those awkward bows - and more.
How is it that you only paint very likeable people? Can it be that you are able to portray anyone as likeable, even if they are horrid? I think not - your paintings reveal the person's true character. How lucky you are to know them and how lucky they are to have you paint them.

What a wonderful way to handle black. And red. The whole portrait just comes together so well. One can actually hear him chuckle. He DOES look like he has wit. That comes across at first sight.
Congratulations!

Hello Garth,
Congratulations! What a successful portrait, the blue piece of clothing guides the viewers attention to the face/eyes and balances off the red masses so perfectly.
Stunning! from me too. (must look up in dictionary to see what this adjective means)

Thanks Allan, I agree with your word "pawky". That's him!
