Happy hour #2

[Nufocus]

Oil pastels (“Panda”, made in Holland) on paper.

Stupendous! I love it!

 

[snoball]

Love this and the painting in the painting really adds interest to it also.

 

[Trier]

Another good one Nufocus, a lot to see and appreciate here.

Smile! You are getting recorded for posterity, you don't want to be known for all eternity as the austere one. Oh well. Too late.

I get the feeling of a greater assurance with this one. Not that I can recall less with the others. So there you go.

I like the irony of the title, but it bespeaks a certain self-consciousness about the subject, which I think is a bit unfair to the painter and painting?

I think I'd like to hear what they have to say. Your people are so full of emotion. What a great talent.

 

[Bongo]

thousand-yard stare. Lots of red, painting askew. Well played. Bravo

 

[Desforges]

Your characters are very expressive. I love it!

I like oil pastels but I've never seen them used quite this way - dark and heavily applied, it looks like, anyway. Another wonderful painting from you, plus I'm partial to dark scenes in bars and restaurants in any case.

Much obliged Sno!! Well, I said it before... but....

Trier, I always appreciate your looking and saying!

Austere one for eternity? Sure, suits me just fine...
As for greater confidence, I should hope so after all this time....
The title was meant to be somewhat sarcastic....
Thanks a lot, Iain!

Ntl, omg!! I’m blushing! Thanks so much!

Bongo, your comments are important and well appreciated.

Desforges, love your words!

Susan, I press these poor pastels so hard that I can almost hear them crying! And yes, I remember well your wonderful darkish bar scenes. Thanks a ton!

Thanks Nufocus. I don't think I was in my right mind while composing that post, for some reason.

Superb...If I ever learn to paint, I want to paint like you do.

 

[Nufocus]

OMG Dave!.....
