Oh yes... this is it. You've captured something here that most miss. I can't stop staring at this image. One of my favorites on AW. Keep up the good work!David Holcombe 03 May 2006
This is a powerful portrait. I like the fine detailing of the face, but also the subtle skulls which spill off onto the shulder. Those evoke death, of course, and loss, and history which makes this portrait more than a portrait. Good luck and keep drawing/painting.Anonymous Guest 18 Mar 2006
