I had to see it again. Man, Leah is so talented.

NICE!

wow!!! this is wonderful great work Leah!!!!!

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Love it!

Whoa Beautiful!!!

Love it Roger! Do you find yourself talking to yourself more now? and did the hat come with it? Lol

OMG that is FABULOUS!
GREAT job Leah and Roger you must be absolutely 'beside yourself' with delight. Tee hee

COOLNESSSSSS!!!!!

Leah has prominent reputation for creating portraits in respect of many artists here on FAA. Mario Donk(Australian artist no longer a member here)had commented on this to me recently.

Awesome!!!

Vincent I miss Mario, why did he discontinue his membership? I love the painting I had done of him. Thanks everyone, it was a treat to paint Roger and such a cool thing to open this up to his his new painting matching him with the hat that matches. Tell you what Vincent ,I am going to put a thread up of my models/paintings from FAA, there are quite a few. 2 were commissions and one was bought by the artist (Angel) after I painted it but one must see the set, I can't even remember how many right now till I go check lol

I want to follow this thread but forgot to push the squares

Leah,

I'm in constant contact with Mario so I'll ask him to comment on this for you. He eyis a cool fellow and is quite alone and isolated in his little Australian town of Armidale near
Sidney. It's a half day's difference in hours.

VVF

Yes I know he is isolated, miss his presence here on FAA ,miss his painting I thinks it's called "Making Clouds" with a factory putting out smoke

Very cool!

Awesome! Great work, Leah!

omg Roger! How did you make your matching hat?! Love this...

Isn't that great Melissa? It shocked me when I saw it at first like my painting came ALIVE lol, Thanks Natalie

What a fantastic piece! I love seeing it with the model. Very disorienting. LOL

To follow the discussion just go to the top of the page. Under the original post is a box labeled "Follow discussion." The default is NO. Change it to YES and ta-da, you're following!

I need to go look at that again.

It is Bizarre M E seeing the painting with the model especially with the hat he made to match the painting, It's like WOW!

Wonderful!

Very cool... :-)

That is so cool, I love it!

Love the painting and the matching hat!

It's like my painting came to life and is walking around

I LOVE it!

Love this. Congrats to both of you.

That is really awesome,Leah

Awesome!

well worth the wait!!
Congrats to you both!

HAHAHa... very cool...

Amazing piece of Artwork........Wow!

Great job! Enjoy...

I want to know how Roger made his hat so I can make my hat too.

So cool! I need to go look at mine again. I love it!

HOW I SPENT MY FIRST FULL DAY WITH A MASTERPIECE


Besides picking up Styrofoam pellets all around the house, not much of anything else.

For any work I attempted, I was interrupted constantly, by me.

I kept going back into the living room and stared incredulously at the wall

Asking myself over and over again , "Is that marvelous work of art actually hanging there?"




And Mary, e-mail me

I want to keep my small contribution to the photo a "mystery" a bit longer

Most definitely the perfect match!

Ah a I see an exclusive club forming , You need to include Angelina Vick then since she owns one also ,I would love to see similar photo's with Mary and Angelina wearing the hat with their painting and put it on my portfolio wall :) Please? It makes me curious if anyone else on FAA does portraits of other artists on here

Perfect match Jim? I'm slow

Well, Roger has to tell me how he made the hat, and I think I know, so I'll give it a go....give me a day or so.

EDIT - wow, I didn't mean to rhyme that last part LOL.

would love to see Mary :)

he said to email him, private message here

I did, Leah. Waiting for him to reply. But I won't tell LOL.

except if Angelina asks, she owns one and is a photographer also :) would love to see hers also

Leah perfect match meaning perfect match of an artist painting a portrait of another artist personality and all. I didn't read through all of the thread but I'm sure its been mentioned hear.

ah thanks for explaining Jim :)

Looks awesome. For some reason I thought the portraits you do are smaller. Like the size.

Mary,

I just replied to your e-mail.

Please don't divulge the "Complicated" procedure I went through to achieve the effect.

It's just between you and me.


Edit:

By the way, I'm the only one having trouble with the "Oldest to Newest/Newest to Oldest" on this thread of mine...If so, it has to be my fault...I had the damnedest trouble, initially, getting the photo posted...(that is why there is such big white space there)

If so,....so sorry.

Jani ,I can't work smaller for portraits like this , my eye site and I like things more life size but is how I see it mostly
