WHAT A FANTASTIC RENDER. YOUR TECHNIQUE GIVES MYSTERY AND ENCHANTMENT TO YOUR PORTRAIT! JUST GREAT!julie Marks 12 Feb 2007
You captured the essence of this very wise and powerful man. I love the image and the text and to put the icing on the cake a quote by one of our all time legends, Judy Garland. There was a lady with a deep soul and paralled with your exceptional painting, a heart of gold. His deep blue eyes add dimension to the saying that the eyes are the windows of the soul. Great work, mi rey milagro.Karim Bouchnak 12 Feb 2007
