Wonderful portrait Michael and interesting description which makes sense to me.

Thanks Diane.

Superb, that look is very powerful indeed and made more so by your clever words.

Thanks Heather.

You’re a breath of fresh air Michael. Had a similar sort of catholic education and suffered greatly through rebelliousness. Love how you’ve managed to make her face look both beatific and evil. Extremely clever Michael and most entertaining.

You put into words and images a vocabulary that goes beyond the perimeters Michael. I didn’t come to see the light and truth until a few years after escaping the grasp....but got there in the end! 😂 I think Carole has summed up your excellent Portrait....both sides of the coin in that expression.

Also had a similar education Michael ( first few years) then a proper education! By gum it sticks though! Hard to disregard took a long while..... On the painting you have done a great job with that ‘beatific’ smile.

Beautiful portrait, Michael.

Nice work Michael.

Thank you all very much for your kind encouragement.

The image of Sister Mary Agnes and comments makes me feel very fortunate that she was not part of my childhood. Nice art Michael. And without the history, you have captured more than a likeness.
