Critique

Working on Yosemite View II in hopes of taking it to my critique group today.  We are traveling to Nevada City to El's new digs for our get together.  I am taking a couple of portraits I did in the Siegel workshop, and the two landscapes from the Kondos workshop.  Since I don't really have anything of my own ready, I am up at 5:30 to transform the Yosemite painting to a place where I am okay with taking it.

Here are the two portraits which I did in September:

Don

Richard

I don't think the two look alike and I can see the two guys that I did; however portraiture is very difficult and from my eye they look like I rendered them accurately...maybe not from somebody else's view.  I'll see what my critique-ers say today.  My passion is not portraiture, however doing the work and extending One's knowledge is always a goal.
