I love the solidity and structure of the head and neck, Allan: the working of them together into one convincing mass. The muscle structure in the neck really shows it to be convicingly holding up the weight of the head. It give such a good feeling of reality and character. And I love the brush marks that render it because on close viewing they are so unexpected - i.e they leave you wondering just how you did it. That's genius! I meant it. It makes for a profound painting.

(one of my nicest memories in childhood was taking a boat trip from the UK to Denmark. I was about 5 or 6 and thought it was so lovely and green and clear there. My brother and I both had t-shirts in the design of the Danish flag and which said "Danmark" on them)
