Homeless (Smith Street) after a photograph by Robert Bezuidenhout

gorgeous portrait!!

Very nice look! i almost hear his whispering,”objection”.
Beutiful light and shadow, skin colours, Deb.

When a painting looks like a photo,
and vice versa… all I can say is:
Wow! :)

Stunning portrait deb

Have a sneaking suspicion this is lurking in my favourites – but what a cracking jog you have made.

This is an awesome painting Deb – great work!

wow! great work

This is another awesome painting Deb, looks more like a photograph.

Wonderful work Deb. Your portraits are great!

What a strong and powerful portrait. I love the colours, the lighting and expression.

A stunning work of art! The warm light is a striking contrast to his pained expression – it’s almost like the subject is refusing the pleasure of sun on his face.

Wow what an amazing portrait. What a wonderful gift u have :)

this is fabulous! you have really captured the sense of lonliness and anger in this portrait but i also sense the person’s presence as if to say…yes i am a man too.

I don’t think I can top Rochele’s comment….. but that’s what I would have said in a nut shell. Great Comment Rochele and Fantastic work Deb. I love it. The colors are stunning.

This is a beautiful image.

Wonderful – you did a great job translating a remarkable photo into paint – I like the pumped up color in the shadows especially. Sometimes photos are elevated to deserved degree of status through painting. This is one of those times.

Absolutely amazing that you painted this from a photo, looks like he was standing right infront of you. Beautiful capture of the light and his expression!

Excellent, what a fabulous painter you are.

fantastic
