I painted Gerry on Friday at my Long Island Portrait group ....A wonderful model with strong features. He told us that if someone had told him that he was going to model...he wouldn't have believed them....lol. I used mostly Rembrandt pastels for this portrait....

DeleteI'm betting he loved this! You've created a wonderful portrait of strong character
ReplyDeleteHe did like this portrait, Mary...which of course, makes us happy! Glad you stopped by to comment...
DeleteHe has a very dignified look to him but in a humble way. Your portraits always have a story to them which is what I enjoy the most,it goes beyond the expertly rendered features.
ReplyDeleteAwwww...thank you Celia. I'm glad you liked this portrait of Gerry. Your comment means a lot to me.
DeleteHilda superb portrait. Noticed on his shoulder the American Flag - was he a veteran? Has the look of a special man who displays great character. You certainly captured him well. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you Debbie for stopping by to comment. He WAS a veteran and a very proud one. I'm glad you stopped by to comment...

DeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
