Peter

It's an old one of my middle son, Peter. I put it here to enter the latest contest. The camera did a small chop job at the lower side of the painting. :o(

Good painting, beautifull light, next time don't trust the camera 100% , the arm and hand ar bit small..... do your own measerment as well.

Artist Reply: Thanks for your good comments, Mieke! What I meant was - there was more on the bottom of the painting that the camera didn't see. My fault, of course!

Wish my hair was still that thick. Hope my brain isn't. Once again, Betty, wonderful capture of the light and the moment. My girlfriend says I look cool when I play the guitar. When I look at Peter's face in this portrait I can understand what is going through his mind and I hope I look half a good.

Artist Reply: Thanks for the comment, Peter. I'm sure you look cool with or without a guitar!!

Beautiful portrait of your handsome son. Such wonderful detail from the creases in his shirt and the veins in his hands to the chord he's making on the guitar. This is fantastic.

Artist Reply: He'll be delighted to know that you called him "handsome", Vivian! Thanks for your very kind comment!

Greg Joens 20 Nov 2006

excellent! This can only be from years ago with that hair style... then again... it could be recent!

Artist Reply: You are absolutely correct, Greg! Now he is all grown up with a couple of kids of his own. Still plays the guitar and has a little combo going for kicks. Thanks for your comment!
