Artist's Comments

I took an emotional break from The Wall series; this is a small commissioned painting that I just completed today.

The actual piece is much more detailed as to facial pores, etc.

Acrylics on canvas
36"x24"

Wow, that is amazing work, as always. It looks just like a photograph! :clap:

Amazing. It looks so life-like. I can't hardly get my own knitting to look as good as that in the sweater! The details just blow my mind.

Incredible.

I can't even imagine how you do that - especially the fuzziness of the sweater and the individual hairs over it.

It's very lovely.

Thanks, the scale of her face, even in this smaller size painting works rather well at several feet away, where it does appear convincing as a large photo. Close up there is quite a bit of brushwork etc. left showing for the doubters of this world!

Thanks!!

I'd fave this, for the jumper alone! Astounding!

superb painting Denis !

the woven wool on the jumper is something very special & looks so well done I am in awe of the way you have painted that, was it a challenge to do ? . Also her teeth are painted so well and the small highlights on the lips and teeth give a very convincing illusion.

bloody hell Denis I have been back a couple of times now to look at this painting just for the jumper it really is amazingly done !

This is absolutely superb. Never in my life have I been fortunate enough to view work such as yours. I'm sure, at some point in their lives, every great painter aspired to create work like this! Your talent is astounding.
