One thing or another has been keeping me away from my art since last week...Did this painting today, determined to set the ball rolling again! Took me about one and half hour. I have used a little amount of white oil pastel color in his hair and beard to create texture.

Oh Arti! This is truly a beautiful piece! It takes me days and weeks to turn out my tripe. To know that there are such skilled artists as yourself out in the world is just so wonderful and fascinating to me. This portrait is exquisite!

ReplyDeleteI like the colors you used, the way you mixed them to get a nice feeling to the composition.. one small suggestion though.. his eyes could have been partly closed.. sort of engaged.. engrossed in his music.. here he is almost posing, dont you think?
