I always enjoy your entries, where do you find your portrait subjects? Are they real people?
I have your books and love them! I also recently joined your EDM yahoo group and started posting my efforts. Like many others, I have a new found love resurecting the artist in me and I find the daily efforts quite rewarding, liberating and just plain FUN.
I am fairly new to your site and work, but the last few portraits have reminded me of the raw emotion found in some of Van Gogh’s works. You are excellent in that when I view these portraits a story is already forming or a question is raised as to why these faces express what they express.
Hey Danny, havent been on the web these last few days been under the weather 638 is another master piece. Did you and your family have a happy Mr. Turkey day:) Gobble gobble. The parade you had this thanksgiving had a high school band from Baldwin this is were I live and one of the band members cuts my grass. Small world Id say just a little from me this time Danny:)
Happy to you and yours,
Linda

Thanks for sharing your work as you do. Amazing.

It's a wondeful portrait.
Reminds me on one of Schiele's self portraits.
