I painted this piece for my brother this year. Looked on line for civil war era quilt patterns and tried this. A Mig Productions bust that I enjoyed so much, I bought another that is waiting in the wings.

Thoughts and critiques are useful and appreciated.

Very cool.....your brother will like that!

Beautiful piece my friend ! The pattern on the blanket is superb !

I always liked this piece, and you inspired me to paint one !!!

Costas

Very nicely done indeed. Nice bust from MIG too.

Very good brushwork.
I like the guilted pattern on the blanket.

Marc

That looks great, the quilt turned out perfect. This is a really nice piece and I like the base too.

Hi Kevin,

Very nicely done, you have given life to what is a fairly plain bust. The patterning is not only brave but very well executed.

Keith

Keith, Mike, Marc - Thanks! The pattern drove me nuts at times and it came close to being a black oil skin on more than one occasion!

Costas, I'd love to see what you would do with this piece! I hope you do paint it!

Rob, Steve - Thanks glad you liked it. I got so involved in the pattern that I had to go back and shade / highlight at the end instead of before starting the design. Live and Learn!

Kevin

One of my favorites Kevin. Beautiful work all around.

thank you Carl and Thanks Guy for your comments and for taking the pictures.

Kevin, Very nice. I would not be surprised if you put as much time into the quilt than you did the rest of the figure. Look me up when you do that bust for yourself as I have a lot of nifty coverlet patterns you could pick from. ~Gary

Excellent Gary,

Thanks very much! I will definitely do so!

KD

Great job on the quilt. and the rest of you work is oitstanding also

Much appreciated Anthony....It was a challenge and a treat to paint.

Great painted bust Kevin!

Marcel.

Great work Kevin, sure your brother will be very happy.

Excellent bust Kevin. The quilt pattern certainly elevates this piece to a higher level.

Thanks y'all!

I thought of doing the same pattern for the one I have for me but once was more than enough
