Thanks Mike

Original Post: A painting of an old man for your review

The title of the painting is "Sangasin” which means “one who has given up all worldly goods”

This is a portrait on a gentleman I met while traveling in Nepal... Kathmandu to be exact.

I have painted the background in high relief using a pallet knife, which I felt best simulated the aged plaster that was evident at the temple. Then I switched to a very smooth style of painting to produce the figure and the cloth.

Your comments would be appreciated.
