I did a sketch of Philip and colour notes, at our Art club, and did this painting from that. I struck lucky here, because it actually is a good likeness.
Great job on this Vic. I'm baby sitting my little grand daughter today. Can't wait to get back to painting. You inspire me to get back to portraits. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Joan. Yes, have a go at portraiture. You have nothing to lose, as a matter of fact, You did a great job a while back with that lovely face of that Child, and the back of his Mother. What a coinsidence that you are looking after your grand daughter, we have our grand son at the weekend. Did you see that I have been accepted on Alex Perez Gallery? I emailed you about it. All the best my friend. Vic.
It's a nice pose Vic. I really like this painting. Somehow I feel it captures the man perfectly. It's funny how you can tell that even without knowing someone.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.
