Hey SaraD, I love your works - you got a great talent and skill.
Thanks to share your works, I’ll try to learn something from it.
Are you using Photoshop or Painter?

Beautiful thread, Sara. You have a wonderful mastery on light and skintones. Your sons’ portraits are wonderful to see…I’m sure they will be really thrilled.

I visited your site and I just love your works, especially those flowers - the subtlety of the rose pettals is amazing… sigh - wish I could do that! Thanks for inspiration :slight_smile:

And the finished painting.

Continuing the “close-to-heart” theme.
This is my son Anton and his beloved pony Dusty. Dusty just left us (Anton grew too tall), and this is a gift for Anton to hang over his bed. They had a lot of fun, and Dusty is deeply missed…

it’s really nice. I’m sure your son will be very pleased with it :slight_smile:

#113

I have always enjoyed your paintings. Your portraits of your sons is looking good. I will keep watching.

#114

Your portraits are very pleasing…I’m sure your sons will love them.

Haven´t had any time for painting the past months, and everytime I´ve tried to start a painting (some OFDW´s mostly), I never have the time to finish them:( And I realized that some of the joy was gone. The thrill to see your motive emerge on the canvas…
So, I browsed around to see if I could find anything to paint with joy - and found the inspiration needed at Ben´s (Justmenias) gallery. He has some amazing photos for reference, and I just love to paint him!

So - here´s a start. I think I´ll keep this one in black and white, play around with brigthness and light, and then print in different settings and hang on my wall:)
