Richard was our Friday model. He
modeled for two weeks at my Long Island Portrait group. I loved his
hat and poncho...When I paint a portrait I focus on the face but a
few of the artists paint the entire body and the poncho was really
nice. I used my Rembrandts and unison pastels for this portrait..
Hilda, you are so talented! This is such a lovely painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Connie for your visit and for leaving me such a nice comment!!!
DeleteLove the way the hat merges into the background. Such a sad look you capture, Hilda. Fabulous work
ReplyDeleteThank you John for stopping by. So appreciated!! I really enjoyed painting the hat..I recently bought a hat for my granddaughter to wear for a future painting!!
DeleteHello Hilda! Wow, very nice work. So different isn’t it to paint from life instead of a photo! Which one do you prefer?
ReplyDeletethank you so much Helen.. You made me so happy with your comment. Yes, painting from life is so different but I have to tell you that I took a photo as well because I truly don't like to paint from life!! I know I should and I really try but I love detail work ... so I prefer painting from a photo.
DeleteBonsoir ma chère amie,
ReplyDeleteComme toujours tu nous régales avec tes portraits au pastel. J'aime beaucoup comme tu as travaillé sa barbichette ! Un sacré travail !
Son regard aussi est fabuleux !... Bien sûr son chapeau est merveilleusement bien réussi. Nul doute, c'est bien un feutre !
Bravo ma chère !
J'aimerais bien voir la mer à travers ton travail...
Je t'embrasse affectueusement,
Bisous
merci beaucoup Martine. J'aime peindre des barbes et des chapeaux sur les hommes. Il était un modèle merveilleux et j'espère qu'il reviendra pour modéliser pour nous. Je suis content que tu t'es arrêté pour commenter ... tu es très gentil.
Deletevous envoyer des câlins
Oh my Hilda you certainly captured a special personality in this portrait. I like that you included the cigar. Really adds to his special persona. Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debbie. When he started to pose for us he stuck the cigar in his mouth and I took his photo but all the artists thought he looked better without it...I liked it so I decided to paint it in. I'm really happy that I did.
DeleteSo many areas are special in this one, Hilda. As usual it is your attention to details I always admire...the facial hair, the fuzz of the poncho, the moving eyebrows, the wonderful angle of the cigar...you ROCK, my friend...you rock!
ReplyDeleteYou made my day Julie...you're so kind to leave me such a nice comment. Something about a beard on a man that I really enjoy painting...lol I'm glad you liked this painting!!
DeleteThis is a good one. All the rest talked about is great, I like the eyes!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo for your comment. I love painting the eyes.. I paint them first so I can capture the likeness of the person right away. Enjoy the rest of the evening...
DeleteHello Hilda, very handsome portrait, indeed!
ReplyDeletethank you Carol. I appreciate your visit and lovely comment!!!
DeleteThe clarity of everything in your paintings really appeals to me, Hilda. I think a whole story about this gentleman could be written using this portrait. Superb, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Carol. He was a wonderful model!...I appreciate your kind words. Have a wonderful evening...
DeleteI love the lights and darks on his face. You do such a great job on portraits!
ReplyDeletethank you Joan. You're very kind!!! I appreciate you stopping by to comment!!!
DeleteAnother winner Hilda, great shadowing and love the details of the hat and the cigar, makes this portrait extra interesting !
ReplyDeletethank you so much Jane. You just made my day! I'm glad you stopped by to comment.
DeleteThe details are amazing Hilda, so well done!
ReplyDeleteAwww!! thank you Padmaja. You're very kind. Enjoy the rest of the evening...

ReplyDeleteA 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.
