Artist's Comments

This is my first portrait painting at my art school. It took me about 2 weeks and was done with acrylics on illustration board. I had so much fun doing it! I loooove painting people, oh my goodness. I have already begun my next one, hopefully it will turn out even better. The man in this painting is Bob. He was the gardener of the art school that I go to.. well, back when the school was in england. Anyway, in this painting he looks like a private investigater, about to get the "dirt" on someone. He might have to "stalk" somebody, and "soil" their name in the plant world. It is all in a days work fern the plant detective. Iris I didn't say that last pun.

Bob: Plant Detective by ~bobtheraccoon has an almost retro, Norman Rockwell meets Hawaii 5-0 vibe. Can't go wrong with a botanical sleuth rendered in some acrylic goodness. (Suggested by ~Dezera and Featured by `zeruch)
