A portrait of Brian down under
Every year for 4 years I have participated in a portrait swap via Wetcanvas.com’s portrait forum. This year I got a guy in Australia who had never painted a portrait before. I really liked his face. It looked like he lived through a lot, and even though he was smiling, he looked a little sad.
Fabulous portrait Mimi. He looks very kind and gentle and, as you say, as if he has a story or two to tell.
Merry Christmas.
So down to earth and real. He looks to me like someone who has learned a lot from what life has dealt him. You captured that look wonderfully. Love it.
You did a wonderful job! Patsy from HeARTworks
Love it, Mimi!
I love everything about this portrait. You do amazing work! 🙂
I think he’s a guy who has live a FULL life, and maybe he’s seen/felt some heartache. It is a sweet portrait, Mimi!
Great portrait and I love the seriousness of his face, so intense yet giving us a smile. You know that saying, “A smile increases your face value.” He’s awesome, great job.
ahhh he’s perfect!!!! thanks for sharing…happy weekend!!
I love this so much, all the character in his face you have captured, wow!!
Beautiful portrait.
Happy PPF!!

Wow Mimi, This is a great piece. Lots of expression lines – love that.

I tried to post on your blog about your wonderful Christmas cards, but I was not able to.
he is, it was really cute. He said “I love the portrait. I never dreamed I would ever have a portrait of myself.”
Fabulous!! A very interesting face that suggests an interesting life lived so far.
Magical portrait and so well done ~ Love him! namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF ^_^
This is stunning! I love how the shadow falls across him and you’ve completely capture that wistful expression on his face – which is so full of character. Really beautiful – he must be so delighted with it!
Wonderful portrait.
This is really breathtaking! Love all the wrinkles on his face. 🙂
Wonderful! you`re a great artist. Saludos
This is wonderful! I love his expression! It sounds like a fun exchange!
Wonderful portrait. Happy PPF!
Wow, this is terrific. He should be thrilled to get his portrait, lucky guy to have gotten you as his artist.
You are right, he looks like he has years of sorrow on his face. But even still he smiles on. Wonderful portrait. Happy PPF!
oh my goodness…that looks like it could be my dad now…he passed away 20 years ago…too young…i feel emotional over this painting…it’s wonderful…thankyou…xxx
This is a beautiful portrait and i am sure he will be thrilled with the end product… what a great idea… makes me wish I could do portraits, but i really am rubbish at them xx
Wonderful portrait of a “seasoned” man.
What a wonderful portrait! I love this mans face.
I love the palette: blue and white, with the sunny accents! I don’t know what he looks like, but he does look like a sweet guy whose lived a bit.
This is a nice warm one.
