WHAT A FANTASTIC SELF PORTRAIT KEITH !!

Artist Reply: Thank you Marie! The yellows foto'd too intensely. I don't have jaundice!

Artist Reply: Thank you Brenda! It was a good exercise!

Pastel? I was surprised to read that.... what a great use of colors!!

Artist Reply: Many thanks Cindy. Your portraits are great! News paper is thin and coarse and the repeated layering gives an interesting texture. I prefer sand card though!

What a superb self portrait... I agree with Marie-Claire, you are very talented with pastel too !! Most excellent work, Keith !!!

Artist Reply: Many thanks Francoise, I do love pastels and recently they compete with my oil work. I'm glad I put etching aside as all genres demand fulltime effort.

EXCELLENT SELFPORTRAIT, KEITH !!! YOU ARE ALSO VERY TALENTED WITH PASTEL !!!

Artist Reply: Hello Marie-Claire, good to hear from you "neighbour"! It's too freezing to paint outside so I had a bash at me. Hope you are warmer there than we are!!

Magnificent painting portrait.

Artist Reply: Thank you Ginger, most kind. Most Thursdays we get to draw portraits but 15 min is too short to paint them. This selfie took an hour and a bit!

TERRIFIC WORK KEITH

Artist Reply: Many thanks Joanie--this was to some extend your doing as you once commented on a past SP that I should smile the next time. So I did!
