You may remember that just before Christmas I produced a pencil portrait of my father. Though I was fairly pleased with it, there were a few things about the drawing that have always bothered me. Nothing that stops me thinking it's a good portrait and a good likeness, but just little things that maybe only I would notice. These things have been niggling at me and causing me to think I could, and should, have done better. So here is my second attempt .... "Dad 2".
This portrait is absolutely outstanding John!! It looks like a photo... Sometimes I have to walk away from a portrait because "something" was off....so I can understand why you had to do another painting....you see things that only you know is not right! Again, I LOVE this portrait.
ReplyDeleteYou're right that we see things no one else would notice Hilda. I'm the worlds worst at that. Thanks for your lovely comment.
DeleteThis looks perfekt! Like a photo. ☺
