Brian you have a wonderful gift. This is amazing portraiture. You have a real knack for rendering images of people in a gorgeous style that sells .

You have the ability to present realistic faces that are full of beauty and compassion. These faces are perfect in execution and presentation. It’s easy to draw a face. The really hard part is to make that face glow with realism and some appearance similar to the original model of the portrait. Faces have always been my quandary. I paint well, but don’t have the magic spark of painting and drawing faces to perfection. Because I’m a perfectionist I want my work to have absolute precision. It’s an artistic Catch 22 and all Catch 22 scenarios are relative enigmas, facial art or not.
