Paul
Acrylic on wood panel 12" x 12"
This was done largely from life in the studio session last night. Paul was our model - with a face full of character. Great to paint. I altered the background when I got home. It was originally dark red and just wasn't right. It detracted from the colours in the face.

Hi Sheila,
I love how the background change leaves the edge around his face and gives it more power.
Super portrait.

Hi Barbara, sometimes it's good to concentrate on the negative shapes and just allow the positive ones to "exist" isn't it.
I'm such a fan, Sheila. Whenever I visit your blog, I don't even know where to start: "Paul" is so remarkable! You have such a great eye for color and composition.
It's not often I take my paints to portrait class but this one seemed to work out ok. Thanks Diane.
