What an interesting wide range of styles you have, that shifts with whatever subject you are focusing on. It seems like you intuitively know what style works with what subject. awesome work!
Thank you for your kind comments on my art. I have just looked at your portfolio and I am very impressed. I love this drawing best of all, it is fabulous!
Anette: I reallly want to say this picture is awesome!!! The colors, the expression of his face, particularly his eyes... simply great! Thank you for commenting on my work, by the way... (I'm flattered!) bye!!
Excellent painting! I recognized it immediately, and you SO captured his eyes and expression, and the emotion. Love the touches of blue, too. Wonderful job!!!!
(and thank you so much for the comment on my painting, very much appreciated!) :)
Artist Reply: Your wordsd meaning a lot to me dear Nancy!
Thanks so much! X
Zeer indringend mooie ogen. Prachtige combinatie van blauw en "zwart". Fantastisch idee om de armen van de jongen te laten strekken, het verhoogd de expressie van de ogen
Annette, prachtige werken maak jij. Deze boy is geweldig, ik ben er helemaal weg van. Er straalt zoveel emotie vanaf dat het geen woorden nodig heeft. Werkelijk, ik geniet van je werken. Ze zijn allen magnifiek. Ik heb nu alleen dit portret gekozen, maar Annette ze zijn allemaal heel mooi.
Ik wens je het allerbeste toe, heel veel succes en we houden contact. Liefs Wil, Baarle Nassau.
