Amazing work Douglas ! Exquisitely painted,wonderful reflections with the glassy like polish on the bar counter,lovely light & shadow details. A challenging portrait handled by a Master.

Douglas this is really an impressive work my friend. Two portraits, painting within a painting, the polished surface of the bar and it’s reflections and then the highly reflective quality of the beer tap all done so skillfully. I hit the favorite key before I even typed the first word. I agree with the others, it’s a masterful work.
Douglas Hunt replied
Thank you so much, Jim.
Randy Sprout
Very nicely done, and Charles is very lucky to have a friend like you who can paint him so very sympathetically. The reflections are always your direct strength but when I see Charles in one of your paintings the whole tone and mood kicks up.
Helen Chierego
Two wonderful portraits!
Janis Zroback
Simply splendid …I love the contrasts here…the vibrant orange walls against the delicate tints of her face…her youthful beauty against his age..the polished counter, the dull sweater…lots to hold ones attention…a winner all round..

That is very cool, at first I thought it was a photo. Well done. Frieda was nuts enough to feel at home in Thunder Bay.
