Meet Mitch, my husband.
Today I decided I’d try my hand at doing a portrait watercolor painting, and feel rather satisfied with my first attempt. This, of course, is not counting the one I did of Mitch fishing since there is not much as much detail in his face.

Deb

Androgoth
/ September 24, 2012I think that some guys can wear pink and get away with it,
mind you it is definitely not a colour that I would choose 😦
This is a brilliant portrait Deb, well done you 🙂
Androgoth XXx
Deb
/ September 25, 2012Look at the reference photo, Andro…he’s wearing burgundy.
I was going with a rather light pallet when I painted him.
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ September 25, 2012Yes but he still looks fine in pink, this is a positive thought my great friend, burgundy or pink it is a colour that suits if you know what I mean? 🙂 Have a lovely day today Deb, here it is raining again but hey it is the UK 🙂 lol

Bo Lumpkin
/ September 24, 2012Great picture.
BTW….I am leaving this comment from my home using the MiFi card and so far it is just awesome.
Deb
/ September 25, 2012Thanks Bo!
Hey, Bo, how’s the connection and internet speed working out with it?
Hugs xx
Bo Lumpkin
/ September 25, 2012So far the connection has been great (and Gatorhead is a in a dead zone for most things…ask Phil and Chester) and the speed is only a little slower than the high speed dsl I use at my friend’s house.
Deb
/ September 25, 2012That great, Bo! Connection reliability and speed are so important! So does this mean you can use a device larger than your phone now to get on the internet too?!
Bo Lumpkin
/ September 25, 2012I have two laptops and I could log on to this MiFi with up to 5 devices. My next major purchase will be an ipod so I can at least check things on the net while I am in Dr.s waitin’ rooms etc. No more down time. (Right now an Ipad is pretty much out of the question.)
Deb
/ September 25, 2012That’s wonderful, Bo! Now we can all enjoy seeing more of you, my friend! You enjoy yourself now…I’m sure you are! Hugs xx
Binky
/ September 24, 2012That’s quite good. Portraits are always difficult, and I think they’d be even more so in watercolors.
Deb
/ September 25, 2012Thanks Binky. 🙂 It can be tricky at times. 🙂

It is my pleasure to come visit you at your space, Nikki, and I’m really glad you back! 🙂 Hugs xx

/ September 25, 2012Hi Deb
After comparing your painting to Mitch..
I’d say you’ve done a pretty good job mate!
Do you know Deb .. the warmth that I felt from your previous painting, the small beach house
has stayed with me 🙂 thanks x
Deb
/ September 25, 2012Thank you, Gary, and for checking the reference photo too! 🙂
Really, Gary, I had no idea it could leave an impression like that with you. Thank you for sharing those thoughts with me.
I’m going to miss summer.
Thanks for such a kind comment, Gary! Hugs xx

/ September 26, 2012Awww you know I love portraits! 🙂 And I think this one is beautiful, Deb. It’s cool to “meet” Mitch. 🙂
Deb
/ September 26, 2012That means a lot coming from you, Cha. You are the queen or watercolor portrait painting. If you got any tips for me, please don’t ever hesitate to share them with me. 🙂 xx
spilledinkguy
/ September 27, 2012Hey… that looks a lot like Mitch! 😉
Very nicely done, Deb!!!
🙂
spilledinkguy
/ September 27, 2012Also that wink was supposed to mean that I recognized who you had painted before I read your description about who you had painted…
but after I posted this I was afraid it might read like I was implying it does not look like Mitch, which, of course it does… SO…
wow! I’ve tired myself out! I think I need a nap!
