Portrait of Dick

Thank you so much Jim. I’m not sure whether to frame it or file it!!!

Hello rightasrain. It is great to hear from you, and thank you for a really lovely comment. Have you been busy? What are you working on?

Good to hear! I just had a quick look at your gallery, and I can see that you have been doing some wonderful work. XO

Thanks Alice. I am always pleased to get a comment from you, because you do such wonderful work.

Fanks Josh! His eyes were really difficult because he has those ‘hooded’ deep set eyes that are very very smiley!

Thanks Marion. That’s life! It was to be a 40th birthday present, and we happen to be attending the same birthday party, so I think I will just give it to the birthday boy as our gift! (It is a portrait of his father). I will be interested to see the reaction of the ‘commissioner’!

Thanks Linda. I will let you know how it is received!

Thanks other Linda.

He didn’t commission it Jazzy, someone else did as a present for his son. The commissioner hasn’t even seen it. She cancelled when I was half way through it. It was a great exercise and quite a challenge to do it from a very ‘blurry’ old photo, and I enjoyed it.

Thanks Ken. Ya win some, ya lose some. I’m not bothered because it was good to do and I enjoyed it.

No, I didn’t do that Ginny! I have been advised before to charge a deposit, but I am not a good businesswoman and I’m an even worse softie!!!!

Thanks Brian. I was pleased with the outcome. I think once it was cancelled I relaxed because it didn’t matter how it turned out! Just a fluke that it turned out well, and now I will give it to the intended recipient as a birthday gift from our family.

Thank you Gilberte. What a lovely comment, XO

What a wonderful comment Yimusjane!!!! I don’t think I can live up to such high praise!!!! Thank you very much indeed. XO

You are quite right Doug. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this as it was quite challenging, and like I said in an earlier comment, it probably turned out better because I was quite relaxed about it because the pressure was off.

Thanks Tammera. Your comment is greatly appreciated. I will let you know the outcome!!

Hi Tammera – just letting you know that the painting was extremely well received, and the whole family were thrilled to bits! The recipient was overjoyed.

Thank you Susan. Wonderful comment from a wonderful RB pal!

Thanks heaps Sandra my very dear and generous friend!

Thanks Mike. I think it might be quite emotional!!!! My husband worked for this chap for many years, and he thinks it is a great likeness which is really good because he is a very harsh critic!!!!

Thank you very much for such a lovely comment Holleyarna. The colours in the original are better than they turned out in this photo, but that usually seems to happen!

Thanks Pinkham. It doesn’t matter about the sale. I enjoyed doing this one.

Thanks George, and thanks for a kind comment. Will you stop using those big words!!!!

Thanks so much Les.

Thanks for the great comment! No, it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened a few times and it hurts a teeny weeny little bit!!! I gave it to the intended recipient as his birthday present from our family anyway.

Thank you for a wonderful comment bosmoore.

Thank you very much. How exciting!!!! I have entered it.

Thank you so much for a lovely comment JeffeeArt4u (what an interesting name)! Your interest in my work is very much appreciated.

Thanks for a great comment Maria.
