I dream my painting and I paint my dream

Thanks so much, Kelly!

Yes he was and still is indeed! My art journey started mainly because of him. Thanks!

Thank you, Maya! :-D

Thank you v much, Irving! Appreciate your visit!

Tami, I still admire his works and think there is really none like him or can compare to his brilliant mind! Thanks v much! :-D

Good morning Alessandro from this side of the globe! You know I drew more courage and inspiration to paint more portraits after doing this and of this man who inspired me so much in the very first place! A great weekend to you! :-D

Hello Bill! Thanks v much for your kind comments! I wanted to give him a regal look in the formal attire.:-D

Thanks v much, Felicia. He set a path for all artists and left a wonderful legacy..just like MJ did with the dancers and music so VG is great in that sense...And his heart - his work says it all...Always giving not always for gaining for self glory, and putting himself in other's shoes! That's why I like him and his work so much! :-D

Hello Tim - I just happened to see your wonderful comment! Thanks v much for appreciating this mega star! :-D

Thanks v much Bonnie! I wanted to portray him in the best light as possible for all that he had suffered for his sanity! :-)

Thanks v much for visiting, Iris!!! Have a great weekend! :-)

Thanks v much Deyanira. You know, this is one of those portraits where you can immerse yourself for hours by yourself and that's what I did one afternoon. It's from this that led me to others...

Hello Victoria! Thanks so much for your generous comment. I chose this one cos it moved me to paint him dressed this way and the look with the slight frown making him seem very regal and smart looking...

Thanks v much, Shirley! I want to paint another one of him - he's got so many and I ain't got the time...but will share w the next one's done!. Cheers! :-)

Hello Iris - I was in tune and in the zone while painting him and immersed myself totally into it. It was a wonderful feeling being at one with your work during the process without any disturbance and no one around except you and your subject!

Thanks v much, Kume! My tribute to a great artist of all time! None other like him!

Thank You so much Iris! This was one of two portraits that spurred me on to paint more...

Thanks so much, Nikki! You are so kind. I am glad you liked it and that it has transcended some kind of feeling in you...

Thanks so much, Marcia! I just had to paint Mr Painter himself....He always has that 'look' - however you interpret it...

Thanks Bobbie! Yeah of all his self portraits, I chose this for a first. May paint another one. He deserves the regality and the dignity....

I just luv your name! And thank you kindly for your appreciation. I am thinking of painting another one of him...
