Nice job on composition and you have good lighting. I like the way you used red in the dark areas (that I could see). Did you have a model or copy a work in existence?

Great rendering of masterwork... I especially like the reds. I would suggest you note the original in the title. Price would depend on other works you have sold, and similar size pastels. I think it's important to include a matte and plastic cover, if not a standard frame in your price plus delivery.

Painting Christ - I once painted Jeffrey Hunter as Christ when I was a boy. Ha-ha! Now that I know Him personally, I do not wish to paint Him. I couldn't possibly capture His likeness. Nice job here. I wonder if some actor posed for this originally, too?

I have had bad luck with plastic, and would not recommend it over pastel. It is filled with static electricity, and will collect the pastel onto it in time, and there will be a double image. It might be interesting, though, considering the subject. :-)
