This was my last painting in the July portrait a day series. Hugh is a dear Baha’i friend who visited Manitoulin for the month of September 2019. He offered service to the community including counselling and massage and several workshops on his discipline of the “Korason Method for Authentic Voice and Dialogue”, you can learn more about that here Hugh Smiley . On one special occasion Hugh honoured us with a piano performance at a Music & Poetry evening in Little Current.

Wonderful! I can feel Hugh’s sunny personality in your creation.
Thanks Karen, i really enjoyed painting this one with the good light and shadow. Hopefully we will see Hugh again in 2021.
There’s a real depth of control in this one, Pam.
Hey ger, the original photo had good light and shadow and i think that a good photo is key to a good painting.
Wow! Love this one Pam! Love the red!
Hey Cathy, one can really see the progress from my last post which was the first painting and this one was the last.
Beautiful work Pam! You have been a very busy painter. I really like your style of painting and have enjoyed seeing all the portraits you have painted. Cheers, Stay safe and all the best in 2021 Sally
