1st one is cool, 3th one is super, but the Laurel and Hardy one is amazing :|:|:|

I would really like to see that last one totally finished, it would be a real nice peice.

These are really fantastic, I think it takes alot of willpower to try to do something every day, at least it would for me. :) The first portrait is my favorite and i think on of the strongest pieces, especially considering its watercolor...

nice work - I look forward to seeing more.

The first piece is definitely the most fresh for me. The light is nice and gives the piece a depth hich I think the others are lacking.
I also like The snog. One of those pieces that took me a while to figure out, because of the "closeness" of it.
Like SD said, amazing willpower. :)

Thanks lads! Yeah i gotta finish that laurel & hardy one, its been sitting around for months now unfinished. Ill finish it tonight :grin2:

These are all really good. Which makes them good is the fact they all seem to be different in style which is impressive :)

As your work is good I now have to hate you and your talent ;)

kudos to you for being able to produce this kind of quality work everyday!!
the first one is very interesting, effective strokes, the expression comes out well

i love the laurel and hardy.. would love to see its finished state :-)

real nice work :-)

Wow, didnt expect all his positive response! Yeah, Im just messin round with different styles till i find my own, hope it doesnt take too long! ;)

Oh Boy !!...that Laurel & Hardy, is a winner, but I am ao impressed of how many different directions you can take and what comes out of your wee head !!
It certainly shows us that you are a very hard talented worker with all these creations.....

that last one is really nice. I like the feel of the situation - looks like a hot place and an old man sitting in the shade reading the paper like he does every day. Dusty type place...anyway, I like how it makes me think. :)

that Laurel & Hardy is amazing, glad to see you finished it !

Great work again.....:)

Laurel & Hardy is my fav!

Thanks guys, great feedback again! I like the way Laurel & Hardy turned out, might try a few more in that style. Haumovie, you are right, it was very hot ! Its from a reference photo i took of an old man in Prague and he looked very peaceful and content so i decided to capture the moment and paint it. :)

I like the last one as well, excellent work on all of them.

The Laurel and hardy turned out really good :)

Please, keep em coming.

You are incredibly talented. You guys are such a pleasure to be around
