Two paintings of the same guy. What's up with that? As it turns out, I needed to do a painting demo during a watercolor workshop. I had the top one started but it was too far along to use for the demo. So I drew up another one to use for the workshop. They were both off to a good start, so I just ended up painting on both of them simultaneously.
These are the first in a series of "Chinatown" portraits. Right now I have three series of paintings going: Telling Stories, a series on the elderly, Chinatown, a series of the residents of San Francisco's Chinatown and Women Revealed, a series for an upcoming show on the female form. They seem to be different in context but they tend to overlap, with the elderly being the common thread.

Love them both, Peggi. but, being a detail person, I slightly favor the top image. If I don't get another opportunity, I wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
These are both gorgeous, Peggi! Great contrast and color, and I love his expression.
Absolutely beautiful! Great job in capturing character and facial features. Looking forward to seeing more!
Wonderful character....just love your work.

Dear Peggi,
Very interesting to look at both: similarities and differences. Especially, handling backgrounds is fascinating. Thank you for sharing such precious works and I can learn lots from you.
Kind regards, Sadami
Excellente
Work
Tank you for sharing
Nice job again! They are both wonderful, but I like the bottom cropping, that is if I had to choose. Can't wait to see more from this series.
Stunning Peggi, such character. The way youve handled the light on the face is amazing.
Thanks so much guys!
