The chain-smoker by Cesare Romano

Horrible, but a great painting!

Nice work again, very loose Cesare.... I hope its not you??

I'm really liking your experimenting Cesare. Keep being bold, it's really p[aying off.

I will have to cut down nice one Cesare

Thank you Gudrun, Guy, Jim, and Dennis for yout kind comments. Hi Guy, I don't smoke, it was an experiment for playing with washes.

Some great wash effects

Your on a roll here Cesare . Another very impressive painting. It is so clever in the atmosphere you've created . The verl loose wet in wet is perfect for the subject

Thank you David and Diana for your kind words.

Very good Cesare!

I like the monochrome, with just that touch of red.

Unusual subject for you but really effective. And a great warning, perhaps they should commission you to do a painting to go on cigarette packets (to deter people from smoking).

Probably why you look so young Cesare!!!! You live a clean life!!

Thank you Louise, Marjorie, Sandra, and Guy for your kind comments.

Horrible subject, but captured to perfection Cesare!

Thank you Seok, I wanted to give a horrifying image of chain-smoker, therefore his face too is built with the smoke.
