Isiah ( study)

I can feel the bristles of his beard. Your work is fantastic and full of feeling for the subject.

Wow full of character Russel. Looking forward to the painting. It would take more than a razor to get that lot off. Lol. Beautiful.

Yes indeed Russell, some depth of character in this piece, a great talent as always.

A very powerful portrait, he's watching me Russell! Look forward to the painting.
