Artist's Comments

Pastel on paper.

This is a portrait of my husband. He was angry when I did it, so this is not his normal expression, but he had an interesting look on his face because it was controlled anger. Really he was enraged about a circumstance and in a sense gets this eerily calm look but under the surface you can see that he's upset. I wanted to capture this feeling of controlled anger as I was feeling it too. We weren't angry with each other but at a situation. Hopefully that feeling comes across in the piece.

he definitely looks like the next thing that sets him off will cause hell. youve captured his emotion perfectly. and i also know that expression just because i have the same attitude towards some things. people at work who barely know me knew i was pissed off today... its that stern face and sharp eyes. great job

I was just saying to myself what a greivious expression he has before I read your comments. I would say you have done a remarkable job capturing the feeling.

Thank you very much :hug:

I can just agree. You captured that feeling so well.
But I think it's nnot just his facial expression but the colours, too. I don't really know why... Maybe it's 'cause it's so dark.
Anyway, I like it very much. :) So it's definitely :+fav:

Wonderful illustration of expression..I like the technique and colour a lot.....and do so understand this "look" as it is said that I have it as well when displeased or as the saying goes "if looks could kill." :D

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Indeed, you have captured the mood, atmosphere, and emotion of the moment. Great work!
