Hi All

I'm new here. I'm a portrait artist from NZ, now living in Brisbane. I recently moved up from Melbourne and I'm slowly finding my way round the local art scene.
Feel free to stop by my blog.. I posted a couple of my recent portraits in the portraiture section, one of which is my avatar.

Great to be here

Cheers Bruce

I think drawing/painting people and getting it right is such a hard thing to do, and you show you can do it very well! Welcome

I also like the one of your Brother... and I would leave it like it is, with just the drawn in body.

Love your portraits - very sensitive and I love the "unfinished" works which leave the pencil drawing as part of the picture. Your career has taken some unusual twists and turns!
