Portrait

What a fantastically strong image this is - I mean to take nothing away from it by saying that it'd look wonderful in a horror film: a GOOD horror film, in which its brooding intensity would work well to complement a dark story and enhance its atmosphere. Those golden highlights make this work - I wonder how you do them: I presume it's thick white, over-glazed with yellows; however you do it, it's a very effective technique.

Very effective!

Superb Michael.

I would agree there is a story behind this, Full of emotion and I feel sadness. It has impact.

Thankyou very nice comments. Since I have been thinking about my own county alot which is Yorkshire I think some of the spirit of heathcliff has seeped into the portrait.

Wonderfully penetrating - Robert's comments say it all!

A powerful portrait Michael, from Constantinople if I'm not mistaken?
