Torrit Buddha
Just entered this in Gamblin's Torrit Grey competition - my first time doing so. Was really inspired by Chris Sapers' winning entry last year, so I thought I'd give it a try. This is from a series of photos I took while visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia several years ago.
I'm not sure this qualifies as a "portrait" in the strict sense of the word, but I will say this: most of the time I was painting this, it felt like I was painting a portrait. There is a real presence in this particular carving....
