This nicely done painting by Damião Vieira from Portugal. Thank you!

What I find SO interesting about this piece is that you first capture the essence from the photo, and then insert an emotion or thought or perspective that flies from the canvas. In the photo, he seems to be thinking of something routine; in the painting, it is as if you pulled what he REALLY cared about from his gut. Good job!
Well, I can't say it any better that Coyote did. This is absolutely outstanding! Your color palette and brushstrokes jump off the canvas with such emotion. This will definitely be one of my very favorite portraits of the challenge.
Maryanne, you have a HUGE talent. This painting is FABulous. BRAVO!!
Gorgeous! Love those thick paint strokes. I opened up to the larger view and delighted in the way you've used shapes as indication of features rather than trying to paint the feature itself. The effect is a very lively and accurate likeness. Outstanding work!
Great job!
One of my favorite.
Everything works in this portrait Maryanne...love your brushwork!
Such a fantastic painterly portrait. You have really chosen a great pallet of colors and your loose brushstrokes create such a mellow flow and feel.
Maryanne, what a strong, beautifully painted portrait...great likeness as well.
Great portrait, love you brush work.
I just want to add and agree with all the others. Very nice portrait, not just a picture.
I really like the loose quality of this piece and your color choices are outstanding!
An absolutely beautiful job with the portrait, Maryanne - love the brushwork.
Great job on this portrait. Not only did you capture the likeness but it's a beautiful painting as well. And I love all the colors...
wow, thank you for all the positive comments on my painting. I have been working on "loosening up" -- and your comments have let me know I am going in a good direction.
Exceptional - I like this very, very much. You captured both the likeness and the essence of your subject.
Excellent painting , nice loose brush work .Like the colour built.
very nice! Loose, painterly feel yet also totally recognizable as that specific individual. That's hard to do!
loose and colorful! you really captured a mood too.. well done.
Great job. So beautiful.
So painterly and wonderful. You did a great job capturing the personality of your subject.

His interpretation of you has this mixture of whimsical and wistful. I can see the child in you here. Interesting!
Hello, Maryanne,
Your entry for the challenge is absolutely wonderful. The thick strokes, loose style and use of color have a confident, yet playful quality that I love. Congratulations and best of luck in the new year.
Very painterly and nice. Best wishes.
Lovely. I enjoy seeing the brush strokes and rich colors.
Loved the painting you did of Damiao for Karin Jurick's challenge. Wasn't that fun. I too painted a portrait.... I have a wonderful idea that I'd like to talk to you about and am hoping you'll contact me....Jill Polsby
