Pope John Paul II, Michelangelo

Pope John Paul II, Michelangelo on his sleave, Mike is the only other person burried in the Vatican, along side St. Peter, What can you say about Saint John Paul II (pause) speechless, That's the Holy Ghost hovering around the top of the Pope...I painted this in the Rembrandt/Theory technique of permanency and jewel quality pigments...

That is an absolutely stunning work of art! I'm so glad it was a featured image today or I may have never had the pleasure of seeing it. Such a great pose and expression of the pope. Photographic painting technique. Fantastic!
