This portrait of a missing child is particularly memorable for me. Like the others, this was painted from a blurry photo on a "Have you seen me?" mailer.
Great textures. A difficult subject to tackle too, you have captured a great sense of meloncholy in each portrait. A painting of the child from a photo before they went missing, with the knowledge that they are missing at this moment in time.
This is my absolute favorite... I love the expression... I love the hair style. I love the colors... And all that I love makes it that much more sad and intense...

Wow. This one's stunning. The underlying red colour really shows the horror of it whilst the pale whites make him look almost ghost like. It's heartbreaking.
I have had shows where I display the actual cards and fliers alongside the paintings. It is interesting (but puts more focus on the individual crime, somehow.) This way, they appeal to a universal concern. Simply numbered, they become OUR children.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

love this one
A complex, disturbing and beautiful image.
This image is particularly striking to me. I mean, this was the best photo with the "best" expression that the family had on hand.
Some of these portraits of missing children were easier the approach than others for me...
This one was tragic right from the beginning. It did not seem to resolve any differently as an artwork.

You did a great job capturing the expression and mood. The colour choice is nice too.
