I've been working my arse off painting over the last couple of weeks. It does get very frustrating now and then, but went its all going well,and I like the finished piece it does make me feel like I'm worth something, and that I'm not a complete right off, anyhoooo  heres my lastest piece, Bob Dylan (acrylic on canvas) I was up till after 7am this morning finishing it, I was so worn out by the time I went to bed, but I knew I had to finish it in one big session or I would have lost the vibe and it not have turned out how I planed.

As always I like your paintings, you have a real talent. Below is the photo of Dylan. But when you paint you don't just copy, you give the art a life of its own.

How do you choose the subjects of your paintings? Are they people you admire?

its absolutely stunning hun and having seen it close up (the lucky girl here) the detail and use of highlighting colors to contrast blew my mind and u dont need art to prove ur worth something just have a look in mine and marley eyes when u walk in :inlove3::wub: :wub: :wub:

Thank you sooooo much everyone, The painting sold.  This is the quickest I've ever sold a piece. I took it to the bar, and asked Bobby the boss if I could hang it , and I didn't even have it fully out of the bag and he was shouting across the bar that he wanted to buy it. So jobs a goodun, he put the full amount in my hand,no haggling.

Thanks everyone, the boss in the bar (Filthy Macnastys) really wants to help me as much as he can, I been offered to take part in a silent auction , and I can put up pieces as often as as want. I'm aloud to flyer the bar and put up posters.  Just gotta try keep the head straight , and not try and take on to much.
