This painting is 30 x 40, a big challenge. Oddly, a human being is the hardest subject for a painting, since a half inch mistake wrecks the whole thing. As the master painter John Singer Sargent said; "A portrait is a picture where there's something wrong with the mouth." Well, there is plenty about this painting that could be improved, but it's a boy with his boogieboard at the Pacific Ocean, and it doesn't get much better than that. Cowabunga, dude.

Awesome artwork! Did you have a model? He looks like you. ;) I've always loved drawing portraits when I took art classes. I was actually very decent at those, but I've fallen gravely out of practice. Now if this was a boy on the Atlantic ocean...he'd probably have seaweed and a six pack plastic ring near his foot and be carrying a deflated float he most likely swiped from someone else's towel. Sorry, just having Coney Island memories! :P
I think your paintings are beautiful. I love your use of colors.
I concur -- the boy does look like you! And your talent at art is awesome!

This artwork is sooooo Californian! Love the beach!
(Personally, I'm terrible at drawing lips on women and when I draw guys, I just draw them with 'staches to make it easier for me. ha ha.)
Nice work. I agree with other commenters, the boy looks like you. You are lucky to be so talented.
