Often when a muscle theme is rendered, it is done awkwardly and without a sense of the beautiful, but this is just outright artfully acomplished- a perfect combination of theme and painter.

I am so glad that you got to see the progress pictures, too! <br /><br />Thanks again for all of your kind words, and I am truly honored to have been entrusted by our friend to create such a meaningful piece of work, for all of us - the one who commissioned it, the one who created it, and the one who recieved it.<br /><br />All the best !!!<br />KristinaKrystyna81https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511024163507167473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-35107589809121674082009-04-19T06:52:00.000-04:002009-04-19T06:52:00.000-04:00Kristina!

I did not know what to expect when she arrived with the painting, wrapped up of course. At first I assumed it may be a print of Superman, as somewhere in an interview I did mention collecting such items?<br /><br />I was so pleasantly surprised to un wrap and see this great work. Then? Having an opportunity to see pictures of the process added more so to my appreciation for your work. <br /><br />While I would normally never hang a painting of myself anywhere! (LOL) I do very much love this painting as it was a pivotal moment in my life. Attempting to define all the thoughts going through my mind at that point would be tough to do. <br /><br />Please know how much your work, and passion for art is appreciated! I thank you again, and I look forward to seeing other pieces. Be well, God Bless and CREATE A POWERFUL DAY!<br /><br />Mat DuVallMat DuVallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-79509688376366070622009-04-13T18:12:00.000-04:002009-04-13T18:12:00.000-04:00I really love seeing the range of your work.

I especially like the colors you chose for the background of this figure, rather than the flat black of the photo.melissawashburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875926997619905292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-89715294928638639272009-04-13T15:40:00.000-04:002009-04-13T15:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for all the kind (and funny!) comments!

I wish I could rub some off of you when we sit next to each other at bunco!<BR/><BR/>Seriously though... you are so awesome! While Mat provides quite a nice physique to draw and paint... your use of colors and shading keep revealing new things to me every time I look at it. I am sure it will be the gift that keeps on giving for him as well! <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the patience as well to listen to my thoughts and comments and work them in so beautifully! The surprise was a HUGE success! He would have never imagined in a million years "that" is what his gift was!! He was speechless!!
