This is excellent Michael. The light in the eye! Reminds me of Rembrandt.

I find this very moving, Michael, a very lovely work

Oh, that eye, brilliant!

Superb

Thankyou very much for nice comments. Yes I was trying to emulate the great master rembrandt . I'm very glad to some this is moving. I'm used to remind artists of turner. But to remind some of rembrandt is more pleasing to me still so thankyou. Incidently I bought a beautiful book of rembrandts self portraits which I treasure.
