It IS a beautiful portrait, don't misunderstand me, but he looks older in the finished work. And I can't say why...<br />I'm going to read the last post now to unveil the mystery...Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-84060703973857241912010-03-19T17:43:56.823+00:002010-03-19T17:43:56.823+00:00Thanks for that Dors, yes it is a bit 'old mas...Thanks for that Dors, yes it is a bit 'old mastery' isn't it? :)<br /><br />Alison, thanks so much for your observations, really helpful.

I say seem and it's marginal, but i suspect it's one of those subjective things depending on how our own brains are subconsciously wired to 'read' faces.<br /><br />You know that maturing process with boys as their brows become heavier. I wonder if the slight more shadowing you have applied above his brow has simply given it a tad more prominence. Brain 'sees' heavier brow and assumes older boy? <br /><br />Just my thoughts and i hasten to add it in no way 'worsens' the picture!! It's super either way :o)Alison Staitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736717550338133550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-88404886319488513172010-03-19T01:46:17.098+00:002010-03-19T01:46:17.098+00:00Great job Janet.

My feeling is that ...Great job Janet. Love it. <br /><br />My feeling is that he doesn't seem to be aged. I think it is just the darker shadows on the final one.<br />The colors used give it an old masters look which is lovely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320818718820284581noreply@blogger.com
