| Los Voladores 1, watercolor 25 x 30 cm |
The photo is of one of the "flying men" (Los Voladoers), whom we watched performing an old Mexican ritual. It starts by dancing at the top of a very high post, after which four of the men launch down on ropes, spinning until they reach the ground. I was surprised to see that the performers were not young at all. And I was happy to be able to take a few good shots of their faces, which seemed so interesting to me.

It is wonderful Blaga.
I do not think it is over worked. It is just that watercolor always gives us unexpected surprises and we get a feeling that some thing has gone wrong. This looks fabulous and actually shows the age of the gentleman.
You say "I think it isn't bad" I think "It's not bad it's brilliant"
A fabulous portrait, Blaga!
Excellent portait with a great skin color and expression...he seems so alive , great job ! xx
Blaga! This is such a wonderful portrait and not overworked at all!
The colors are perfect and the expression is just wonderful. A very nice painting:)
Thank you, Maria!
I'm glad you see it that way, Asit. I wished I had completed it in less washes, but it lacked depth and body and I kept going. But I felt my brush-strokes getting looser with the subsequent washes. Thank you!
You are very kind, Polly, thank you!
Thank you, Judy!
Thank you, Jane! I like how the skin tone came out - deeper bronze hue, which looks much reddish from the scanner.
Thank you so much, Renate!
Hi Blaga, Your portraits are stunning. I have been attempting to paint my grandbaby's precious face. I will post.
Dear Blaga, if this is the result of insomnia .... is a fantastic result. You have a gift for portraiture! it seems that your portrait tells his own history .. You paint the soul along with faces of the people!
Thank you, Cathy! I would love to see your grand-baby's portrait
Thank you so much, Rita! I now think this is the best way to deal with insomnia ;)
