Just beautiful and lively. Looks like he going jump right out of the canvas! Nice work, Michele.

Michele, this is everything an outdoor portrait should be. You've finessed that big smile with style and charm. It's a terrific painting and I wish it were one of mine.

Hi Michele,
It's a very sympathetic painting, his expression is wonderful and alive.
Greetings,

Hi Michele:
It looks like you were presented with a triple threat situation, (smiley/teeth, frontal, outdoors), and really made something special of it. When studying a portrait the first thing I look at is the forehead. I feel real solidity there. Very well done.

I really like this one Michele!! You could be the painter of smiles, this is so convincing and you have captured such spirit and youth. He is very alive in this painting. You will no doubt have extremely happy customers! I only hope to be as accomplished some day!

Uh, what happened to the critique that was here a little while ago? It was nice and long and I wanted to come back to it and read it more thoroughly... Peter, was that you?

Michele,
Another beauty! As with the Shauna portrait, your handling of light on the foliage fits perfectly with the composition. You seem to have everything right in these recent portraits. I agree with Chris about the hair. This one is very Bougereauesque in the handling of the hair and the modelling of the face. Thanks for posting these. It helps to see what you've done and try to pick up some pointers, even if the work is beyond my ability to critique. If we try to replicate your efforts, just remember: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
John

This is one of those pieces that finds other painters sticking their noses right up to the canvas and adjusting the bifocals to try to steal some of your licks. Wish I were close enough to perpetrate such a theft.

Okay, now let's move this thread to the unveilings-section. We start to sound like Wetcanvas here.
I removed my own critique-remarks earlier because this thread didn't seem the appropriate place to put them in. I mailed them to Michele personally.
Peter
