It’s a sketch or three…….

[Foxyboy43]

Sainted lady FB told convinced me that Rua was soooo pretty that we should commission a painting of her; yep I know but what’s a boy to do?
So fortunately a good friend is a very talented artist and she has been, seen and provided preliminary sketches for us to choose from for the final painting. Needless to say there is much minor altercations discussion about this and we she has decided the winner.
Soooo in a fit of childish sulking I offer to the SD massive the original selection for their opinion. Needless to say if the votes go Lady FB’s way this thread will never see the light of day again but if the terribly handsome chaps who together comprise the SD fraternity make the correct choice then it might just be quoted at the appropriate time.
So waddayathink lads?

PS
Votes will of course be kept secret for reasons which would otherwise become very clear…

2nd pic from left has my vote - captured the attentiveness and expression just right I think.

No question. Second from the left.

[wytonpjs]

As above

Good luck........................

 

[WW.]

Top right.

Clearly the artist thinks so too as they've put the most time/effort/detail into it.

 

[Foxyboy43]

Thanx chaps - so far. Tempted to hit the “like” button but I may not “like” your choice…

 

[zambezi]

 

[wisp]

Number 2 for me

 

[Mountain Bug]

May I ask what size they are? Why not all four framed and arranged together. They're all very nice and that way you and your wife both get your choice.

Edit: I'm a fan of sketches more so than paintings and the works are already done.


Scott

 

[JimmySticks]

I agree with this one, captures some lovely character and is a good composition too

 

[old 30-06]

Second picture from the left is the one. Do not consider any of the others.

 

[NoIDeer]

Same as others top right, the one with RVA in the top left. Nice sketch.

This is similar to a thought I had…

Why not your chosen pose as a full colour portrait but with the sketches arranged around the outside?

 

[The Singing Stalker]

I prefer no 5.
