New energy
 

I've just moved country and started painting again.

This is my wife. You can't really ge the feeling of the picture here as it is actually 120cm x 120cm, and has a big presence in the room!

WOW!!!!


that is one hellofa painting........


your wife must just love it..i know i do.

Great work, I particularly like the blending used....well done.

hooray, lewis returns!
i've missed your energetic style.

bring it on.

Hey, that's nice! I didn't know I'd been missed!

Thanks!

And thanks to Flyman and SmyDnBz.

I actually haven't painted for three months or so, as I have been moving around and settling into a new home. I hope to get back into it now.

that's tops, great work mate. :thumbsup:

The painting captures the spirit in her eyes and her smile - you are a very lucky man!

what a great smile she's got... lovely painting of her

Many thanks. Yes, it was the energy behind the smile that I was hoping to project. She is a wonderful person. You can see her photo on her website (www.olgasheean.com), so you can compare - and then let me know what you think, again!

Wow! Very nice! High energy painting of a high energy subject. Very well done portrait. You've definitely captured her joy and exuberance.

It's a great likeness.

I had a gander at the website, she must be a fascinating woman. :)

She certainly is, and all the hard work she has put in over the years is starting to pay off for her now. She just published her first book last week, http://www.olgasheean.com/ffl-main.htm, and already people are ordering more for their friends. One person has bought an extra ten copies!
