Thank you Cherie bon, bon.

Thought I posted this here before but never, oops!

Conor McGregor - oil painting on canvas board (24” x 20”).

...the realism in your portraits is stunning, LaLa...:love:...Joni Mitchell is kind of my heart and soul so I particularly love that one ...:lovedup:...and I’m familiar with the photo also...also Frida, I love....





...your artwork is also excellent and very talented, Kaz...:love:..

Brilliant lala , love your stuff. :wavey:

Thankyou Ammi,have been doing a fair bit of drawing during lockdown, trying some new stuff too.

Aw thank you so much both for the nice comments - only just saw! :love:

I'm setting myself a bit of a challenge next month, I've bought a LARGE canvas (40 x 32 inches) and am going to try and do some realism on it with a portrait. I've decided on the subject and found a great photograph to work from. Drawing the linework up tonight ready to being painting - might start August 1st and see how long it takes me doing a few hours every single day.

Planning on recording the whole painting process as a timelapse too - my sister has kindly allowed me to use her spare bedroom to paint it in! Excited...

Kaz...they are really good. I tried to upload per your instructions but I’m really no good on these things.
I’ve put mine on Etsy and Amazon under My Rustic Pencil...

My GIGANTIC Mike Tyson oil portrait is well under way (paintbrush for scale):

...the realism of your portraits is incredible, LaLa...and I love that you share your work through stages, it feels such a privilege for you to do that and allow us to be a part of it...gigantic Mike/gigantic talent you have...:love:...

Oh I will have a look rusti,only just seen this ,thanks for the link :wavey:

...you have a very skilled hand, Rusti...:love:...they’re excellent...

Brilliant rusti, such a shame you cant get them on here, well done you clever lady .

I once helped build a sculpture that was commissioned by Kenyatta for his home.
I heard he was very happy with it

What sculpture was it userSince ? do you have any pics ? what a nice memory to have.

Thank you Ammi..:hug:

Thank you Kaz...:love:

It is a huge (I guess 20ft) sculpture of Samburu Warrior that is apparent now in his entrance hall.
I was just helping a friend out when visiting Kenya. Following her artistic direction lol.

That's such a random thing,brilliant.

Bit more done:

Stunning work.

You must have a lot of storage space to do work of that size. :laugh:

Thank you! Oh... That's the worrying part - I didn't think it through so I'm going to have to stash it somewhere safe until I [hopefully] sell it. Thankfully my sister has a spare room at hers so it'll be fine in there. :hehe:

Thats just awesome...

Absolutely brilliant stuff Lala:wavey:

...I’m in awe of your talent, LaLa..:lovedup:...I’m sure that selling it will be so easy...your art is flawless and the likeness to each chosen person is incredible...:love:..


...I think that my personal favourites are Joni and Amy...just because, Joni and Amy...:lovedup:...
