I took this photo of Don last year at my Wednesday workshop. It feels like so long ago... I miss going and hope we can all go back so we can all paint together again. He was such a great model. I used my Rembrandt and unison pastels for this portrait. I hope you like him.
Beautifully rendered fleshtones as always, Hilda! Your portraits never fail to delight. (Good job on the hand as well!)👏👏
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a generous comment Helene. SO appreciated!!! ❤️

ReplyDeleteAwww! You’re always so kind Jane! Thank you SO much. Hugs!!!
DeleteHilda he is wonderful. The eyebrows and the way he holds his hand up to his face is just perfect. I do hope friend that you will be able to get together soon with others to paint. How we need that connection. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debbie!!!! We’re still not getting together and I look forward to seeing them soon. This has been a crazy year!!!!
DeleteA pleasure to always visit your blog Hilda, I see the works in facebokk, but visiting the blog is very enriching, seeing the quality of the portraits and the life it has is very pleasant.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Best regards
Thank you Jose! You are SO kind and I appreciate your kind words. Hugs

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Connie. I’m glad you like him. He’s a great model and miss seeing him at class. Soon, I hope. Hugs
DeleteBonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteUn excellent portrait. J'aime beaucoup l'expression de Don ton modèle... Je ne le connais pas mais je suis certaine qu'il t'a apporté beaucoup de plaisir à le travailler. Mes félicitations ma chère. J'espère que très bientôt tu pourras retrouver tes cours. Chez moi, dans le sud de la France, à partir de demain, nous serons à nouveau confinés pour 4 semaines... Je te souhaite plein de bonnes choses, prends bien soin de toi.
Gros bisous
Merci beaucoup mon ami. vous êtes toujours aussi gentil et j'apprécie vos paroles. Mes amis à l'atelier me manquent mais j'espère que nous pourrons nous réunir bientôt. Don est un modèle incroyable et peut-être qu'il peut à nouveau poser pour moi. Je reçois mon deuxième coup de covid mercredi et je suis un peu anxieux. un autre verrouillage en France est tellement bouleversant mais cela passera. rester bien. envoyer des câlins
DeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Thank you SO much Ash!!!!
DeleteHello Hilda,:=) Another superb work in pastels, Forgive me if I use a little artistic licence when I say this portrait reminds me of a Dutch sailor, on the deck of a ship, with mist surrounding him. Perhaps he's waiting for the mist to lift. Ha ha,!! I like the way you have done the veins in his hand.
ReplyDeleteBeijos Xx
ps
I would love to see a portrait of your new dog.
It’s funny but Don was in the Navy many moons ago. He’s such an amazing model and person. I’m glad you liked him. And yes, I will definitely paint Bambi. She lives to model as well.. lol
DeleteSending hugs!!
A wonderful study. He looks pensive and wise.

Bonjour ma chère amie,
ReplyDeleteMille mercis pour ton gentil commentaire laissé sur mon dernier billet. Il me touche beaucoup. Tu as raison beaucoup publie sur Facebook et délaisse peu à peu les blogs. Je trouve dommage car les deux sont de bons supports mais différents... Je te fais de gros bisous. Prends bien soin de toi,
Thank you Martine. Having so much problems with my blog... hopefully I’ll be able to fix it ... this is why so many of us are leaving. So sad.
DeleteBeautiful blog
