Thanks for the comparison. Before I heard of Freud I was influenced by Frederick Varley, a Canadian artists with a similar rich style, but with a bit more colour than Freud.
In art circles in Canada, (I'm guessing you're Canadian), the Group of 7 are considered just too old fashioned, but the public still loves their work. I do too. They style is sort of universal.
A fun pic I did based on a book I did with the boy from the sun.

A fun bit of nonsense.

A friend's children painted a canvas I gave them and I painted them into it. The fun messy doodle background is 90% theirs. I added a few streams to pop out some of the shapes they painted. I might do this as a series.

This drawing, with a bit of watercolour, was done years ago in North Vancouver during a figure drawing session. Probably 15 - 20 minutes. Watercolour, subtly employed, can have wonderful affects. The challenge of working fast forced me to ditch excess thinking. And it's funny, because at first I thought, "Oh, this is terrible." Then the next day, with fresh eyes, or checking out the drawing in a mirror, I think, "Wow! How did I not see how good this is?" Never throw out your artwork immediately after a drawing session. Give them a few days and look at your work with fresh eyes.
