A fine artistic example showing a depth of real life.

I love the character, feel I can speak to him.

Such an interesting portrayal of a character - absolutely brilliant.  So real and so much more than a photograph.   Congratulations

I remember "Denis" from last year - this is an equally powerful work - well done!

A great portrait - Richard has a slightly concerned expression, and a fascinating face.  I like to softness of all the background colours, which really focus the viewers attention on the face.

This makes me want to call my grandfather for the simple pleasure of hearing his voice.  I imagine Richard has some good stories to share.  Thank you.

Richard looks as if he's preoccuied with worries, but a thoughful and kind man. He looks at the artist directly as if waiting fr an answer. Beautifully painted sensitive face.

A lovely study, beautifully executed and with great feeling
