You are really good at accurately capturing facial expressions Brian.
Brian Towers replied
I must say that kids make it a lot easier with apple cheeks and innocence. Thanks Dave.
Sharon Perrett
Wow, beautiful artwork, they sure are cute :)
Brian Towers replied
Thank you Sharon, I greatly appreciate that.
Hidemi Tada

Brian Towers replied
Thanks you Hidemi. I didn’t get to hear their voices as it was done from a photo – I can imagine they could be chatty.

aww how cute love it
Chris Willis
Such beautiful eyes these little ones have. There’s a real sparkle in them. Don’t know how you get that cleanness of line with pastel….I always seem to get really messy…love working with pastels though. Brilliant work as usual, Brian….love it :-)
Brian Towers replied
I can always rely on you to boost an ego Chris. Thank you.
Tom Godfrey
Masterful Sir Brian
Brian Towers replied
Good on ya mate!
Estelle O'Brien
I agree with Chris…I admire the beautiful clean soft look you have achieved with pastels. Lovely portrait of two very sweet young ladies.
Brian Towers replied
Thanks Estelle. Never the one to follow the ‘rules’ I must confess to using whatever works, and that includes to little touch of paint here and there.
Jim Phillips
Wayyyyy too cute. Excellent work, well done.
Brian Towers replied
Thanks for that Jim.

GEORGE SANDERSON
Thanks for the preview, Brian, I cant wait to see the original
My wife and daughter think it is wonderful, and a photo is on its way to my son in Campbeltown, over the air waves, as I write this.
Well done, AS USUAL!!!!
Brian Towers replied
Thanks George, I’ll bring it Friday – and hope it lives up to expectations. The photo is a bit dull compared with the original.
GEORGE SANDERSON

cheetaah
excellent. Beautiful eyes.
Colin Cartwright
Portraiture is so difficult. You’ve given life to these young faces on pastel, Brian.
You will know from the response from the relatives _ I’m sure a delighted one!
Brian Towers replied
Hi Colin. You’re right about portraits being the most difficult of subjects – for me anyway. Fortunately in this case George (up there with his comment) was delighted with his grandchildren’s picture.
Rosina Lamberti
Fantastic work,!
Brian Towers replied
Most greatful for your kind comment Rosina, thank you.
Sean Farragher
this is so beautiful
Brian Towers replied
That’s greatly appreciated Sean, thank you.
Lynda Robinson
They wouldn’t be George Sanderson’s granddaughters would they? Lovely pastel work Brian.
Brian Towers replied
Indeed they are Lynda. George and I are members of an art club, along with a lot of other old timers. We spend more time chatting and chuckling than painting so it’s as much a scocial club as anything. Most of my ‘portraits’ these days are done as caricatures (portoons) and George has requested one as a present.
I’m presuming with your talent you are a professional portrait painter. May I ask how business is going and how busy you are?
Lynda Robinson
Hello Brian! I just spent HALF AN HOUR writing you a Bubblemail, and it has DISAPPEARED!!!! RRRRRRR! I will start again….....

Linda Callaghan
Missed this one too – actually it is not showing as posted???? as I went back to check..absolutely stunning!! I am in awe of your talent.
Brian Towers replied
Ah that maybe because i did a bit of juggling, took a few off and brought a few forward. Seems to have paid off and my reward was your generous kind words Linda. Many thanks.

Such a lovely pastel, Brian – the different textures of hair, skin, clothes beautifully rendered.
Brian Towers replied
Ah, your kind words are greatly appreciated.
