People like to read their future by fortune teller, usually he will ask many questions to get to know more about you. Usually a con work, don't believe!...one of the vanishing trade.
You have set a mood with your colors and values. I can practically feel the heat of the lamp. I really like your understanding of gestures in the figures. It conveys the conversational feeling beautifully.
your lightsources and details are wonderfully accomplished... they may be cons, but its fun sometimes to have a palm read... : ) wonderful work Francis...
