Wonderful painting! The composition is very nice and the atypical lighting makes it interesting. Fantastic job and a well deserved honor!

Thanks once more Carl, Tim, Renee! To all; I'm humbled by your praise.

Here's a closeup of the face, as per your request, Beth. Actually, it's not a true closeup, but just taken from the full-size shot and cropped. I'm getting the painting back in the next few days in order to varnish it and after that I'm having it professionally photographed (4 x5 trans). At that time, I'll get a proper closeup of it, as well.

Juan

Juan I really like this painting a lot. I especially enjoy this closeup where I can see evidence of your paint application. A well deserved honor indeed.

A breathtaking work! I love all your paintings, Juan, especially this one.

I wish the Angel school where you studied had been in existence when I was growing up in Toronto. Maybe some day I'll get a chance to study there or at their Florence school.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I took a look at your site, very impressive. I especially love your self-portrait. It caught my husband's attention from across the room. Very intense expression.
