Huell Howser is a well-known PBS television host who has a show titled California's Gold. This is an acrylic portrait of him that I have been working on. The beauty of acrylic painting is that you can make changes very quickly unlike with slow drying oil. Here are my changes. The bottom photo is my last change. Am I done with Huell?...maybe.
Those are great versions of Huell. The likeness is excellent too, I'm a fan of "California's Gold" too. He's showed me a lot of places I've missed and a lot of places I haven't seen for a while. You've caught his sunny persona!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous portrait, David. You always leave me in awe.
ReplyDeleteEvery incarnation is fabulous, David!
ReplyDeleteI like them all too, but prefer the last one, I guess because he looks less tanned.
ReplyDeleteAutumn, Thank you Autumn. I may do another painting of Huell. I'm not sure that I am satisfied with this painting.
ReplyDeleteSue, I agree, and as I responded to Autumn, I may do a new painting of Huell.
ReplyDeleteOh you have given us four takes!All combinations look good in their own way.I think his white hair stand out better against the blue...
ReplyDeleteI love all of them David. The second to last and the final one are my favorites. The bold colour is gorgeous and an inspiration to me. I'm going back to work.
ReplyDeleteYour friend in Toronto,
Barbara
Arti, The background colors have been driving me crazy...dark to make his white hair stand out or should it get lost in the bright light behind him?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing another Huell painting. Wish me god's speed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim. I'll be curious to know what you think of my next Huell Howser portrait. I shall post it in a day or so.
ReplyDeleteAre you selling the prints or originals by chance?
