Oh, no doubt, my friend. Boyd was definitely the hottest of the Beatle wives, with Bach being a close second.

All your work is amazingly wonderful. This face reminds me of early pix of Patti Boyd, the famed inspiration for Clapton's "Layla" and Harrison's "Something".

Thank you!!! Patti Boyd is probably an unconscious muse for just about every girl I illustrate.

I'm always trying to draw people and I focus a lot on expression but I can't seem to get it right so I really enjoy looking and admiring your work.

Thanks again for admiring.

I paint on canvas but I haven't posted anything in my gallery. Mostly I enjoy drawing with pencil. I've only just begun to experiment with painting.

Cool. So are you on DA strictly to observe or will we see any work from you in the future?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mostly observe. i wrote a section of a story I began to write and submitted a while back, but haven't done o since. Even though I do artwork of my own I don't possess a scanner to upload the images. So as I said I like to observe and I find it intriguing to observe others work and find ways to improve my own.

Observation is cool. We artists need observers or we wouldn't have anyone to look at our work.
Yeah, not having the adequate equipment to reproduce your art can be a pain. I shoot all my finished artwork outdoors on camera and it's a real timely and tedious process. It's the worst part of the job in my opinion. Sometimes I feel like paying someone to do it for me, but I am such a perfectionist that I know I wouldn't like anyone shooting it, but me.

I think doing all the hard work and seeing the finished product makes everything worthwhile in the end. And I completely understand the need to be a perfectionist.

Very pretty! Her eyes are fantastic, you got all the light interplay and little colour variations and it just lights up her face.... Captivating, really

is this based on someone?
or is it just a "stranger"? i mean... all the series
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. The Stranger series is based on my life as an ex-pat living in Sofia.
What do you think? Do you like it?

I can't understand why that haircut went out of style. It brings back such fond memories...It doesn't hurt that she's HOT, either.

Thank you very much!
Yeah, nothing like the fashion from the 70s. It'll never get old.

This reminds me of an actress in the '70's, by the name of Phyllis George. Beautiful woman.
Your artwork is equally beautiful, and demonstrates your considerable skill.
Great work!

Oh, and I carelessly forgot to say...THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it.

I love the woman of the 70s. That look they had is timeless to me. And most, if not all, of my work is owed a great debt to that decade.

I believe you're correct, it was indeed Susan George. My mistake.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, right after you said that, I noticed right away the resemblance "Eyes Of A Stranger" has to Susan George and then I put 2 + 2 together and figured that Susan is who you were really talking about.
Yeah, I am huge Susan George fan. I have every movie she's been in! She's very underrated and unknown in the States, so it's nice to meet someone stateside who knows of her beauty.

A vision of loveliness. I have to take this opportunity to say how sexy chokers are around a lovely throat like that.

Thanks, dude.
I see we have that same choker love going on.
