This is eye catching. I like this. I just recently got interested in face shots and made art with my photos. This is beautiful. It’s even better that you actually painted this. Outstanding!!

Fabulous. Was surprised by acrylic – I thought oils. Great to view you working too.
Samuel Durkin replied
Thank you MrsO. I’ve used acrylics since I was a child. Since I have asthma I can’t deal with the turpentine in Oils. I try very hard to find out what can be done with acrylics. I mix my own formula of paint mixing in agents to slow the drying and keep them fluid, but I still have to work extremely quickly before the painting dries

More than just a fantastic painting Samuel, this is a piece of poetry. Thank you also for the fabulous insight of watching you create this masterpiece. I love the way you push and pull the image.
Samuel Durkin replied
Thank you Mbartworks. I’m glad you like the painting and video. Although I was a little disappointed that I spent so much time blocking the painting.

I just watched the video of you painting this! absolutely mesmerising to watch another painter – feels like home…
I love that you paint to Sigur Ros too!!
Samuel Durkin replied
Yes its either something calm and emotional like Sigur ros or Boards of Canada and there hypnotic ambient sound. Then again sometimes I listen to something hypnotic yet stimulating like some psy-trance.
Banin Jafar
That’s awesome Samuel…its very emotional I really loved it…great job!

Brilliant work….
LisArt
Brilliant painting. I not only love the expression on the face, which is really entrancing and beautiful to look upon, but I love the rawness of your style. The ambiguity you leave in your images, the use of layered colours, so interesting and it actually gives the viewer layers to peer into, making one look deeper into your work and images. You have a unique and beautiful style. Love it.

Thankyou, I’m glad you “get” what I was trying for.
