Love this portrait very nicely done. The eyes are the most important of a face you did that very well. I ones made a few children of the world paintings and exposed them in a child care home. It where different children from all over the world, did you make more of this kind of paintings? Keep painting faces.

I absolutely love this portrait, Stephen. I can sense the emotions of the child because you've expressed them so well. I love the colours you've chosen and the complimentary colours of the background.
I also admire your brush work.

Well done!

Stephen, I love, love, looooove your African faces. I'm also obsessed with painting African faces. Your colours are beautiful and vibrant. Keep up the good work. Where do you get all your subject matter from. I desperately need new faces, but am nervous to take from other peoples photo's. Atleast I live in Africa and our people are omly to happy to pose for a photo, so I must just get my but out there and start snapping LOL. P.S...Your profile gave me a giggle:)))))
