| I really liked the head, especially the eyes and nose. Pat, Buddy's owner, wanted a background, of which I made a supreme mess, so onto the next rendition. |

| I am here now, working on ANOTHER version. To my eye, it seems to be going well. The ballade of Buddy Graham continues. Stay tuned if you dare! And please feel free to leave comments, questions, good jokes ... I love to hear from you!!! |
I love it!!!! The first head looks beautiful and the last version is also going great! I love doing the same painting several times too when I am not so satisfied with the first version, or when I want to try a different method of painting and compare the effect. I'm waiting to see how it develops!
ReplyDeleteThis is coming out very well. Your patience in trying it once again will surely pay off. The person who commissioned you will be very satisfied.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
look foward to next version katharyn ...the eye on the far side seems a little out to me on the initial portrait
ReplyDeleteI really like how you capture the texture of his little nose, draws me in right away, so realistic, very nice.
ReplyDeleteI think the first head was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity with the first one ,that was really great! But I trust you to make this one perfect...all around. And I just so admire your persistence and patience!
ReplyDeleteMy moms and me liked them both. But I am learning by watching my mama and listening to her- that artists are never satisfied with their work. But, I am the expert- and I say I loved them both. But you are the one who must be happy.
ReplyDeleteHow can you do these so fast? Your amazing!
love
