Thx Sparx. I appreciate the comment.
Hi slave, I do sincerely appreciate these kind comments, because I've been put down most of my life. People here may understand that. My paintings mostly do not sell, as people don't generally go for portraits. I'd have done better with abstracted landscapes using colours. Here's one which won a prize in a juried show. The male monochrome portrait was accepted the year before, but no award. The monochrome of the woman was not accepted. This painting is of a neighbours son. I saw him in the courtyard and he agreed to a quick snap.

WOW!! !! !! !! !
I had to comment on this one again. The value changes....the eyes!! !!
Please show us every painting, every drawing.
Do you have a website with gallery if so can you PM me with it. Thanks!
slave, the best thing for now may be if you google idrawandpaint Mike Fone. Then you may be able to find your way by the menu to My Page and My Artwork. It's a long way from everything I've done, but quite a bit.

Let's see if this video slideshow works. I've never done this before.
This is a try out with no fancy bits, like transitions or titles.
These are some of my paintings not yet see here.
