This was an excellent series David and you’ve made a super painting of him. Very dramatic.

Love the way the clouds converge behind him drawing the viewer towards him. Great painting of a great character.

Brilliant David, thought it was a brilliant series and you've captured Dominic West so well in his role of Jean Valjean. Well done 😀

Painted from a screen shot of the BBC's 'Les Miserables', starring Dominic West. It's the scene where he's just been released from prison and caught my eye.
