This is a jaw dropper for sure!
ReplyDeleteI am truly amazed at how good this one is. Only because usually professional portrait painters do nothing but portraits, and you obviously can paint a variety of subject matter at a top level.
This looks just like the photo for sure and I get the impression I would like Tom very much.
I enjoyed following your process steps and seeing the finessing bringing it to its final amazing likeness. As I said - a jaw dropper!
Had to wait 'till my feet touched the ground before answering. What wonderfully generous compliments; I'm truly touched. Praise from you is treasure indeed!
DeleteWhat a sensational portrait! The progress shots were so interesting to see. I'm sure Tom absolutely loved the painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind words! Thank you so much, Helen. I'm really enjoying your cricket players. You capture them to perfection.
