Hello Linda,

Thanks for the positive reply: the idea in this portrait was to fulfill a command but at the same time illustrate an idea which people usually say, "the painting is so real as if he would be alive".

This concept was even more important to me because of the original photo which was of an awful quality done by a non professional. Unfortunately I cannot display it entirely so here is only a piece. That idea of "as alive", a kind of "magic" feeling when you look at it, is really present when you see the picture in reality. Here on the screen it is lost.

P.S. Look at the third page in this section to see the progression of my work from the photo to the drawing and painting please!
