Sadly they are not so easy to spot,

And usually less then a candidate for Mastermind Michael. You've portrayed the topic well.

Wowzer Michael. I truly think this is wonderful. Such an evil look this character has and that red glint in his eyes just works as does the turquoise background against the darks. Best avoid this man!

Terrific job Michael, love the synopsis, the portrayal is powerful . An element of Munch's the scream about this. The look of hatred in this man is captured wonderfully. One of your best.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

The picture of evil himself! An extraordinary powerful painting which reflects today's society. So much violence hate and injustice all over the world.

worrying good portrait Michael! The good people must stand together across national boundaries in these increasingly dark times …

Sticking Michael, but he must suffer so much from his hate.

Sounds a nasty piece of work Michael well portrayed

Absolutely fantastic Michael! Definitely your best so far....simply wonderful portrait.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and inspiring words. Yes Satu, and yesterday Ratko Mladic was jailed for life over Bosnia war genocide. Some small justice.

Oh my word! It's all been said Michael, good work.

A real powerful painting Michael - gives one food for thought!

Sounds like my neighbour.. except that she's a woman. She's doing her bullying act right at this minute. She can't deal with the fact that I'm a foreigner in Britain even though we don't even know each other (thankfully!) Great work, reminds me of The Scream by Munch.

Thanks Ibolya. Sorry to hear you have an ignorant neighbour. Brexit seems to have made them come out of the woodwork. They always turn my stomach. I love your work.

Ooh I don't like him! Well portrayed his face says it all Michael!

One of the racists I know, consumed by hate and a twisted ideology. Pastel. Racism = prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice/bigotry, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, bias, intolerance; the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
