Description 8x10, gouache/watercolors. This was my first full watercolor painting, and my first attempt at photo-realistic sequential art. Quite a learning experience.

This piece is so moving. You have captured a moment and expressed it so sorrowfully. Your use of darker colors enhances the emotional feel of this work. There are some things better captured with paint and pen, than with a click of a button.

I've found painting to be extremely therapeutic, and this piece will always remain very important to me simply because of what it represents and because of the amount of genuine emotion that bled into the watercolors. It may not be very advanced in a sense of technique or skill, but its sentiment cements its place within my heart for eternity.

Thank you very much for seeing what lies within my work.

Marvelous...The shading of the face and the shadows that fall in the wrinkling of his brow and under his eyes really show the intensity of this man's emotions. I love it.

Thank you very much.

You'd do well to steer clear of anyone you ever encounter with this particular look in their eyes, dear Umbrella; it's the mark of insanity.

Thank you so much. This is an important painting for me, even though looking at some of it makes me cringe. As to what you see in it: yes,yes,yes... and no.

I'd be honored for you to write another of your own brilliant pieces based upon my work, and that invitation's ALWAYS there for whenever you wish to use it.
