Here is my latest portrait painting of Ricco. It really took a long time to complete and it was a struggle all the way. I'm not that satisfied with the painting but I must confess that it was a true learning experience. And I should be satisfied with that, right? I am but I would have liked it more if I could have captured his skin tones a little better, or had his eyes come out a little more realistic. I must say that I do love the bricks! They were so much fun to paint, no struggle at all!
Well now I need to move on to doing some paintings for the upcoming spring shows. They are right around the corner. I can't believe how much I need to accomplish by then. I will hopefully get most of it done in time. And the rest, oh well....
Just wanted to mention that I have updated my Art Shows and my Gallery so check them out.

wow he is great, the bricks are too.. wonderful! take care,Diana
yes, the bricks are wonderful! and the play of light once again is really neat. I think the pupils are usually pin points in bright light; so, I bet if you adjust that and make the iris a bit smaller you will find his eyes realistic like you want :) He is quite gorgeous! You are getting to be quite a portrait artist!
