...peintre de passion

Painter of Passion....This is a portrait of a restoration painter in Italy, restoring the masters mural works on the walls of churches. Only a handful of artists qualify in the expertise to paint and preserve the masterpieces. I was so inspired by his story and his dedication that i needed to draw him for my own personal insight....which i gathered his passion and faith in art... Graphite/bristol/14x18.....several inches were cropped to give the best detail view.. Happy Holidays : )

When I look at his face,He seems so pleasant and relaxed holding his tools of art.As usual ,Sher,U Manage to describe wonderfully this artist's character,his clothes as well as the background.If I have to describe your works ,Sher...It would definately be - The Gallery of HUMANITY...! :-)

Mark Peterson 26 Mar 2005

In my opinion one of your best Sher. I like what you did to the background and how the brush comes right up into that design. The shadow and lighting work is well done and you did a marvelous job giving him character with the hair and brows. It's a very fine piece of work. In my opinion with alittle more fine detail this would be a masterpiece.

edem jimbo 26 Mar 2005
