Beautiful colors... looks like it could have been done with oil pastels. When I first viewed this, I was overwhelmed and pleased by the wonderful palette, but then my eye did go to his upper lip. I couldn't figure out what was going on there until I read the previous comments. After I knew, I could see what you had done. I think maybe if you put just a tiny bit of darker contrast around the edge of the tongue, or vary the shades of lip and tongue more, (I'd just play with it a little bit more if I were you) it would probably define that he is licking his upper lip.

Beautiful painting, Christine. :)

OK I managed to find some time.
I decided to paint something old with the same amount of time, or less, to show how much my skill has changed. (not following the idea of this contest too well, I think)
With this pressure I was painting faster than normally...fun fun.

Thank you Kayos! I'm sure you could do anything I'm capable of and more. If I could explain how I do it, I sure would. I 'play' so much, a lot of it turns out the way it does sort of on it's own! I'm glad you like it.

Oh I really really like this one Donna! What fun!

Jack Klugman.... :) I like these portraits your doing, improving on every one.

Actually it just came to me, he looks like a basball player from the 1930's 40's. Babe Ruth or somebody.
