Next week, on January 13th I'm having surgery to repair a torn muscle on my shoulder....yes...ouch!!! I have no idea what I'm in for but the doctor told me that I won't be able to do too much after the surgery BUT I will be visiting all my friends here so if I don't comment please know that I'm enjoying your work.
Magnifique.
ReplyDeleteBonne année chère Hilda !
Bisous.
A wonderful portrait, Hilda! Happy New Year, and all the best for the surgery!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised he likes the portrait it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBad luck with the shoulder - painful - I hope they can fix it quickly so you can get back to a pain-free life
Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJe suis certaine que votre ami Jack fut incroyablement heureux de découvrir ce merveilleux portrait. J'aime sa touche d'humour concernant le choix de sa chemise !
J'espère que tu te rétabliras très vite après ton intervention chirurgicale. Il n'est pas facile d'appréhender ce genre de chose. Je te souhaite beaucoup de courage et de patience.
Gros bisous ♡
As always, Hilda, a beautiful portrait - your work is so wonderful! Will be thinking of you and hoping you will be back soon with more of your lovely artwork!
ReplyDeleteHilda, I wish all the best with your surgery, and I hope you heal quickly and perfectly!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for Jack, what is not to like? It is a wonderful portrait!!! You just get better and better ...

Another wonderful portrait Hilda. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery so you can get back to your artwork quickly
ReplyDeleteHilda, this portrait is wonderful! He's a very distinguished-looking gentleman! I am impressed with how you painted his eyes through the tint of the sunglasses. Everything is just the right value so as not to hide the eyes. You are so amazing and your talent is extensive!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I forgot to wish you the best with the surgery. Hope all goes well and you heal speedily!!
ReplyDeleteHilda this is a beautiful portrait. Love it, just sent you an e-mail. Take care my friend.

Handsome piece of work! It's no wonder he as pleased--and his shirt looks just fine. You'll do fine with the surgery, just remember to make sure they give you a stool softener along with any pain killers. After that physical therapy and you'll be back at the easel in no time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful Hilda, always love your skin tones. Good luck with your surgery, you will be out for a while with rehab and everything. Sending healing thoughts your way. Hugs.

Mientras, disfruta de las palabras de ánimo y comentarios hermosos que vayas recibiendo. Te los mereces!

Goregous painting! Take it easy for a fast and full recovery. I have tendonitis and every time it is almost better, I start to text and use my track pad and then I have the pain all over again.
