With that face Mike is pulling it looks like I have just pinched him on the arse or stuck a banana up his butt!! Galadriel, you stole MY portrait.  Am going to ask my sister to do a pencil sketch of it instead as it will be quicker and will look really good in black and white. She owes me a favour. And I will photocopy it and send it to you, okay, so pm me your new address. She is just as good an artist, remember her artwork I posted, which included a pencil sketch of Mike. Congratulations on getting the job. I have been VERY lazy, but WILL try harder. Lee, where's that pic you promised to show us? And when you are finished with your girlfriend, will she go out with me (ps. don't tell her I'm a female, it will be a surprise) Are Mikes eyes blue or green? -------------- I hate getting up early.

Oh no better call the police then, I'd hate to think there's a theif among us . Thanks Tracy for the offer yes please . Well any portrait of Mike circa Ommadawn would be fantastic, I thought a B&W photo would be easier to draw/paint than a colour one, I dolike this one of Mike with his eyes closed, so beautiful, gorgeous,so alluring   .

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Feb. 28 2006, 16:43 Great paintings, I really like that Ommadawn one, so serene and distant. The painting adds a depth not seen in a photo. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Feb. 28 2006, 17:37 Oh my GOD Lee, they are incredible, esp the Ommadawn painting, hopefully when I show that to my brother it will inspire him to have a go at it, and soon! Is the black and white picture I like (above) taken from the same photo session you think, he seems to have longer hair in that one. Also I found it on a TB song book which I am assuming was released before Ommadawn, but I didn't get the book until 1976 (secondhand) so I don't know how old it was and I don't have it anymore, wonder where that got to? Is there any chance you could email me the original size photo of that painting so I can get a poster made out of it, would you mind? You can ask the artist first if you like, is it a male or female artist? Don't know why it matters, just curious. They have really captured Mikes essence in that painting, fantastic work and thank you so much for sharing with us, you are very lucky to have these, esp if they were a gift from your partner. How much does he/she charge to do a painting like that? Not that I am going to order one from Australia but I know someone in England who certainly would, looks like my brother is out of a job.

bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: Mar. 01 2006, 15:08 thanks for the comments, they are stunning paintings - Tracy, I think the pictures are the same size i can still send them to you if you like, not sure on prices as they were both gifts so id feel cheeky to ask, i do know that the artist puts his work on Ebay from time to time so he gains some recognition, his name is Bryan hible. Bugger, just realised i have answered moonchilds question under your name sorry, but im sure he would be glad to do a commision. -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Mar. 02 2006, 21:22 Hi Lee, Just tried to send an email to Bryan and it kept saying to me, 'no matches found' and would not let me send it. Are you sure that address is correct? Cheers. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Mar. 07 2006, 22:27 @ Lee, I googled Bryans name and found some of his other artwork, all fantastic but your Mike Portrait is a stand out. He quoted me 100 pounds for a 10" X 12" portrait, but I think I would want to go at least twice that size. Your Portrait looks a lot bigger, can you tell me the measurements? Don't worry about sending me the pics if they are the same size. I can't see how he could get that incredible detail in such a small portrait. Of course the Postage cost will go up dramatically but thats the price you have to pay! He seems like a very nice man, thanks for the connection, much appreciated. My brother and sister, both artists, were very impressed with his work too. He sent me a picture of an original TB album cover he has done as well. He certainly has an eye for detail. @ Hiawatha, Tati kindly sent me some more pics of Mike and Fanny, would you like to have a go at them? -------------- I hate getting up early.
