The whole world has been breathlessly waiting for me to finish the ink line sketch I posted on Nov. 20th! Well, maybe I exaggerate. Anywho, here is the completed portrait that I painted in watercolor of one of my drawing students at Sacramento City College. His name is Raiyan, and he wears some pretty slick caps. What is currently in vogue with guys his age is the manufacturer's label on the underside of the cap's bill...YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE LABELS, DUDE!!!! 15"X18". 140lb. Arches cold press watercolor paper.

Hi David,
It's magnificent.
Sincerely,
Gary.
Very nice. (sorry to burst your bubble but I had to scroll back to find out what I had not been waiting for)
When I view your paintings the first thing that comes to mind Is a "symphony of colors". They play so well together and have zing. Always a pleasure to read your blog.
I love the fearless use of colors! Its so well done and energetic!
The portrait is very good, indeed.Who would ve thought of putting some green on his beard? But it looks great!
Really wonderful!!
Beautifully painted, colorful with such soulful eyes!
Coming from a fellow portrait painter, I take that as a high compliment, Gary!
Cool as a cucumber, I hope, Prabha.
Damn! You burst my over inflated bubble, Sue! :-)
Yep, just can't seem to get away from bright colors, Ann. Guess I make a lousy tonalist.
Susan, I'm pretty comfortable with the medium of watercolor. This allows me to be bold.
Hi Arti! Green is such a great compliment to all those warm colors I put into his face. Gladya like this one.
Thank you so much, Kathy! More of these to come.
Thanks, Rhonda. The young man struck a great pose for me, and the hat and hood added to the effect!
This is fabulous!
Thank you, Krista.
