Thanks Somebody told me I am getting worse, he thought the previous ones (Bob and the first two small coffee paintings) are more artistic. Of course, it is subjective. I'm guessing he thinks I'm trying to replicate a photo more than making a painting...

Wunderbar....richard

Not really... been stalling it for 3 years... I got en exhibit, then I got sick then of course the usual being busy at the office. We're light on work lately so that gave me time to focus back on it. But I found that the longer I work on a piece the better it gets because of the layers that is added whenever I have time. If I calculated it, I think I must have spent one and a half month just working on it.. like I would usually do. I'm just not a fast painter...

When I saw your lovingly-created portrait, I couldn't
help but think of the portraits of artist Chuck Close. I admire
your patience. I simply don't have it....Thanks so much for
getting back to me. And Google (Images) CHUCK CLOSE,
if you haven't yet come to know his work.

Kind Regards: Richard

Thank you, I feel honored I know the works of Chuck Close and admire him. I love hyperrealism but just couldn't get that detailed. I actually want to see if I can do hyperrealism in coffee painting. I still have yet a long way to go to that level but I hope I am in the right direction

I guess I would Consider your latest coffee painting as hyper realism....I wonder why you do not....

...cause I've seen one hyper realism painting 'in the flesh' at the same museum where I have some of my works and it blew my mind away. It was flawless and looks like a real photo even if you look very very closely that you can't even see the strokes.

Exception work, the tones meld into each other perfectly and the angle of the subject must have been especially difficult.

Thank you I had an image reference so I thought it would be easier but I really did have some difficulty in trying to get the essence of the expression.

Woah this took you three years! I was shocked
But this looks realistic at least its worth it

Thanks! It took me three years because I wasn't entirely working on it all the time... and I got sick too.. and had to work on an exhibit so this got pushed behind. But now it's finished I can proceed to the next
