Man in the Mirror

Hi Thanks v much Vasil! I appreciate your kind support and visits! He will always be remembered...

Hello Laurie! Thank you for appreciating MJ in b/w! I may just paint another one of him this time in color! :-)

Thanks so much, Deyanira! This was my v first portrait and in b/w. I was pretty tensed and quite stressed with it. I stopped doing portraits for a while after this and started again when I was more at ease after painting our leader...From thereon, it was no stopping me...:-)

Hello Allen! Thanks so much for your kind comments! Sorry for the late reply as I was out of town on a painting trip! :-)

Hello Steve - Thanks v much for your constant support. I was just too bogged down w work and only have the time now to reply you. Have a v good weekend where you are! :-)

Thank you v much Alessandro! I still miss MJ each time I listen to some of my fav songs of his. He will always be missed and remains in our hearts. Thank you for your kind comment and A V Happy New Year to you, Sir! Your works are awesome!

Thank you for your visit, Alga. I posted this as a posthumous birthday greeting in Facebook (one year after this was done) just a couple of days ago. He will always be remembered...

I feel so honored coming from your, Dominique as you are indeed a very talented artist yourself. Yes it always starts with the very first one and then when you gather the courage and confidence and determination, you move on to same genre by doing more and more...

Thanks v much for appreciating this Mohamed! He was such a kind man and won the hearts of many. He will and still is much missed.

Hello James - Thank you for your vote and fav! It's v much appreciated. Cheers and a v good weekend to you!

Thanks Byron! Looking at your wonderful works, you have inspired me to continue with portraiture more...If we allow negativism and fear to creep into our minds, we wouldn't feel free to pursue what may turn out to be the best...I am doing my second one now....

Dear Tessa - Thanks v much for appreciating my first ever portrait. I told myself it has got to be someone whom I admire a lot...

Thank you Bharati! I may just paint one more of him but this time in colour...

Thank you Chrisann - Appreciated very much your feedback and comments. He was such a beautiful human. I still feel sad just listening to his songs which I grew up with.

Thank you Annie. I wanna pay tribute to him in some way as I am not so fond of painting portraits but I did it for the man himself.

Thank you Paul - I am still learning. After this portrait, I was more drawn toward landscapes. Will wait for the right time before I start on another portrait but it must be someone I admire a lot.
