Cute painting! Gotta love a burly guy holding a tiny kitty  It's like seeing a 6'5 man walking one of those little poopoo moppy dogs The painting is a little small....but from what I can see....you did a nice job creating some of the textures, like in his chair. And I also like the way you painted the lights and shadows on his skin and shirt. I'm not really sure about the background. Is that a pond? If so, the angle seems off......almost like it is on it's side.

| Thank you Jess. I am not sure how to make the painting bigger it is actuall 18"x 24" but the site only allows you 100kb per picture so I just made the pic a thumbnail. Do you know a way to make the picture bigger without going over the limit. Thank you again for the critique.

| Steven this painting says a lot. I really like it as it reminds me of a photo I have of my big burly logger husband holding a baby deer he rescued. This painting tells a story. |

| I am hoping that this makes the image just a little bigger so you can see more detail. Thanks everyone who has commented. |

| I enjoy you style and the painting, both. How long have you been painting? This picture says so much about the sitter! Also, How did you finally get the digital image to be larger? I too, end up with a small picture with the 100 kb limit, but I've seen many large photos like yours, and wondered how the sender was able to enlarge the image. Claudia |
