Thanks. I actually forced myself to keep this one loose and messy and faster moving so it was alot more enjoyable than the last couple I've done, which seemed to take forever! :rolleye2:

holy Mother Of God That Is Awesome!

That's a really good picture.

Terrific. The scales are nicely suggested without being overly detailed. It's good. :-)

Nicely done! I thought it was a photo for a minute as well. Great use of light. :-) me likie

Soooooooooooo GREAT!!!!! :bow:

You use oils right?

Awesome work!

that's really incredible!

Beautiful painting!! The textures on the nose look so real and smooth!

Wowza! That's cool!

Oh my gosh! That is incredible! I seriously thought the second image was a photograph, and kept scrolling down to find the painting!

I'm seriously impressed. Good work! :gj:

That is beautiful! :bow:

By the way what medium did you use?

I thought it was a photograph and first. Awesome work and in such detail!

Nice work! :) How long did it take you?

Stunning! If you ever offer prints, count me in!

Thanks! I use oils and alkyd medium when I need to thin it out. Alkyd dries the paint a little faster as well.

Will do Rich. Where in MD are you? I work in Suitland. It's lovely. not...

passsstell, can't talk right with my jaw on the desk! There, better now, I live in Mardela Springs, near Salisbury, but in the sticks. I'd have to say the nicest parts of md are east and west, I prefer to live in the east because its between the bay and the ocean. It must be art week, some fine examples bing posted!

Thanks, Rich

Wow; that is awesome. That photo-realism is something that I respect and wish to be able to do someday (now my work is more "Impression.")
NICE!

amazing paintings. you have a tremendous talent:gj:

Agreed!

You should market them if you decide to make more. I'm sure you'll have a great fan base!!! :gj:
