“Stop!”
When I snapped the photo for this painting, I was more interested in the person sitting next to this man. But back in my studio, examining my photo, it became apparent that this man had a compelling story to tell in his gesture, and was much more inspiring to me.

Wow, this painting had difficult foreshortening going on and you also successfully captured an unusual composition – nice one!
Thanks, Joani. I really fell in love with his “pose,” and felt like challenging myself a little.
So well done, the way you capture these moments Terry. I always love your beautiful skin tones. This piece looks especially difficult, just perfect.
Thanks so much, Sherry. It wasn’t especially difficult, which surprised me.
Another beauty Terry and yes your foreshortening is wonderful, as is the painting of the hand especially.
Thank you very much, Carole!
