The portrait is of my friend in whose house we stayed, I also battle with portraits, sometimes the paint doesn't do just what I want and then the portrait can be un-flattering but I think it is worth persisting. Have a great day your side - S Hi Alina – yes I love nature – I love to feel sand sifting through my toes when I sit and I love the sound of leaves in the breeze – all very special to me as I see it is to you.

I think that you admire the nature and in the same time you give a personal touch through your watercolors :) Is it your portrait? Beautiful work, my friend! I’ve always tried to make myself the portrait and I’ve never succeed it :( I think that is not for me this ;)) Enjoy the moment, my friend! :) You are lucky to live in a very beautiful place like these one from your paintings.

I have a kind of a rule about it.

What if you cut yourself and it gets infected??? Love how you captured the mist in the first painting. You have a wonderful way with foliage and it shows in that tree in the second painting. I like the portrait of Rob and even your "rushed" painting has a wonderful airy quality to it. The water is quite inviting. Still cold here. Hey Stephen, first of all, where are your shoes?

I really like your portrait of your friend. Nice attention payed to what counts. I also am very impressed with the one of the cloud covering the mountain. These are wonderful, you wanderer, you.
