Wow, Anton,

What a beautifully painted and haunting (in a good way!) piece. If I lived to be 200 I would never be able to handle painting fabric as beautifully as you have here. I love the reflected color.

I really like this "King" series, Anton. They are so beautifully painted, this one in particular. I agree with Chris 100% on the fabric handling. But what impresses me most is the story this whole series is telling. They are a feast for the brain!

Beautiful, Anton! I would love to see some closeups of the hands in prayer and also some closeups of how you have worked fabric designs into your fabric folds.

Do you first paint an underpainting on your paintings?

Dear Linda, Jean and Chris

You can find a closup at:

Anton, I am in love with the colors of those hands! Thanks so much for posting the link.

Gorgeous Anton! I love this series. . . such an other worldly feel to it. hope you've got more coming! I'm curious. . . is there a significance to the leather caps?
