beautiful composition and style

Frank Maguire 21 Feb 2008

Although I dont really take to Rieu because he is too flashy, I think. Never the less, this is a wonderful catch, you have caught his essence,

All in all, a litle schmaltz, esp classical schmaltz is something the world could use more of. Good idea for a portrait... the face seems fleshier/fuller here than he appears in videos....

This is a wonderful portrait; you have captured in the painting of his eyes, his love of the music that he plays and I like the way that you've made the bow etcetera 'move'. :) Gwen.

Artist Reply: thanks so much Gwen for your fine words!! much appreciated!

I'm listening to Bruch violin concerto on the radio and watching your wonderful portrait of Andre Rieu, and it looks as if he's actually playing... Great work, Annette!

Top-notch! More a picture of the joy of music itself than of a single musician. Your work really knocks me out, Anette.

Kathryn Arruda 22 May 2007

Great work, love this portrait- you really captured him so well! Also, I love the palette you used here- his face is sensitively rendered & enhanced by the surrounding rich blues.

Michael Kennedy 22 May 2007

I also play this instrument and also the cornet and trumpet ----- the hand here is wonderful I have always strugled with portraits but this is fantastic acrylic work
