My artwork

I'm beginning a new type of painting, (for me). You see, I "see" the images in my head, and have to paint or sculpt them.
I used to choose those which would look good in someone's living room but I realize "time" on Earth is distorted so, I'm painting what I see and feel, no matter the era. Here's my newest creation. i painted this yesterday.View attachment 152731View attachment 152732
Stunning❤️ I am so enthralled with your art. What you captured in his eyes! Well I don’t know how to explain it, but from your paint brush to my soul is the only way I can describe it.
 
It 's a good idea to provide a closeup along with a view of the whole canvas. You have crafted this portrait well, sculpting out the emotions that a photo can never do. The sky and tunic frame the face nicely which in turn is balanced by what appears to be a rifle slung over the left shoulder.

My "read" on this picture is that of a weary but strong individual - someone who is no stranger to hardship or loneliness. The closeup reveals your command of capturing the light and shadows of the face, a full landscape of this individual's trials.

This is a wonderful piece and I'm glad you are pursuing this method of painting from you hear. Please keep up the great work.
 
Kathleen, That is the sweetest compliment! That's what i was trying to capture!
You too, Pam and Jerry and Marg.
And McCleary, You have a great knowledge of art!
Thank you all so much!
 
As a young girl @Gaer were you always drawing or sculpting with clay or mud? Were you compelled to express yourself this way since your childhood? People with unusual abilities seem inner driven. You folks are very interesting!

No, i was told by everyone, I had no talent. I was told not to even try! I didn't start artwork until I retired from work. My late husband was the only one who encouraged me.
Haha! I remember telling my husband I can't paint!" He bought me some paints and a canvas.
The minute I tried,I ;loved it!
That's why I encourage all of you to just DO IT! Even if no one likes it, it's an expression of you and your creativity. it's FUN!
