            Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to put together this wonderful, inspiring collection of art. I appreciate getting to know these modern artists. I like the first and second paintings a lot. I am going to stare at them for a while to absorb their expertise. Thank you Kevin. :thumbsup: :)

                                    Jiemin very nice colors there! – you might compare the eye widths to the original.. ( especially her left ( our right side)) eye).. Her nostril on her left seems a bit stretched.. Thank you for your contribution!

                                                Hey!..A challenge including both a Beatle and Frank Frazetta..count me in..ha!

                                                Thx for the challenge Kevin..

                                                All those differences between Frank’s and mine are strictly intentional!:o :lol:especially his lowered ear…frig!:lol:

                                                Tried an ink and watercolour

                                                did a little reading on Frank’s Ringo..

                                                In 1964, Frazetta’s painting of Ringo for Mad magazine ad caught the eye of United Artist Studios studios. He was approached to do the movie poster for “Whats new *****cat?”, and earned the equivalent of his yearly salary in one afternoon. $4000 .
                                                wow..how great is that!!…

                                                EDIT…hey the movie title appears to be sensored by WetCanvas …:eek: :lol: .

                                                Thx again Kevin..for this and all you do for this website!

                                                I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see..I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be..I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me...she's funny that way:heart:.

                                                        I thought I’d give the G Clausen a go, such a lovely painting.
