What a beautiful artwork. I was tempted to call it a painting as it looks so like a watercolor. But I always think of your work as "paintings" Congrats on another splendid portrait

Aside from your massive artistic achievements, you sir are a total class act and a true gentleman.

"I say , steady one old chap" I have never before got such compliments from anyone. If they are really intended for me, I certainly feel very humble, Sincere thanks David

Been a pleasure and honor seeing your work and engaging ... hope to continue corresponding via some other platform my friend

We didn't get to meet, but it has been a pleasure. Now looking for a similar sight that's free ! Was on Deviant Art in the past but too much porn , so wouldn't want any of my friends to see it. I will let you know if I find something suitable.

great

Thanks Claire, I shall miss you and your kind comments

me too

Love the coloring, David.

Guess we now know what the technical issues are all about! Really enjoyed seeing your work all this time Mike - let's all meet up again on deviant art

Thanks, David. Maybe somewhere else. I tried Deviant Art about 5-6 years ago and didn't like the experience. Lots of disturbing stuff on there and seemed to be overrun with high schools kids.

Enchanting

I am always leery when I take on something akin to the hairstyle in this portrait, yet you pull it off so completely naturally. What a pleasure to see and learn from. Congratulations on another beauty!

Respect and gratitude Scotty; there are many members who should be more interested in improving their skills, and maybe picking up tips even from a rank amateur like me, but you aren't one of them. Belated bravo for AOW, let's all meet up again on deviant.
