Hi David

That is wonderful artwork ...uniform colour looks good , lace in particular very detailed painting and the flesh tones are spot on for the youthful look

Perhaps we might see you at Bugle Call on 24/11 at Nailsea

Why not also enter into FOTM as well as voting for the previous months entry's

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

Nice - as Nap says, you've captured the youthful look perfectly & the metalwork is superb. Excellent closeup photography too - Bravo!

 

[OldTaff]

I agree, a beautifully executed piece, crisp, neat, and altogether pleasing to the eye.

 

[Sven]

It speaks volumes that the boy really looks like a boy. Great color tranistions give him a believable childish look. Very well done!

 

[Geoff Charman]

Beautiful work with stunning detailing, the face is superb he is certainly a boy, love it.

I just wish I could have accomplished painting the lacing like you have done.

Great work.

As others have said, you have caught the boyish look wonderfully.

 

[Redcap]

Fabulous representation of a youthful face and tones and there are few pieces that could stand such close photo scrutiny and still not reveal all manner of paint errors.

This is superb!

I haven't seen a bust so alive in a while, it doesn't seem painted, but really.
