Just to show you that I did darken the background on 'Red Pepper'. I am happier with it now.
This is the painting I am working on, of my brother Jeff. I was going to present the boy as a photograph, but really, no-one has a photograph of themselves that big! Do they? So a painting, then? In a different style, perhaps? More colourful? Looser, tighter? A la Van Gogh? Help! Suggestions fully appreciated, please.Roy has a week off work, so I shall be playing for a few days, no painting. Back next week!
If you would like to purchase 'Red Pepper' for 70GBP please email me.

Hi Sharon, what a lovely idea for a portrait, I assume both images are the same person? Your brother is going to love it. You ask for suggestions, I think the boy's image needs to go back a bit, his shirt has the same brightness as the man's shirt. My suggestion would be to tone this down a bit. Beautiful red pepper!
Hi Dianne, thanks for the comment, although I have only placed the boy so far, I have been working on te man. Boy next, I think, and you are so right, he needs to go way back.
Hello Sharon, Love your red pepper, the colors are fantastic!
Thanks, carol, straight out the tube, mostly, cadmium red, yellow ochre, alizarin crimson.......
