Oh no, it has not failed at all! It's an excellent copy and you did a wonderful job here.
I have yet to stand in front of a master painting and copy it in oils, but I've drawn some in charcoal. It's a wonderful feeling to copy a painting by an artist you admire. It's as if you're having a dialog with the artist. Did you feel this way when you copied it?

Linda,
Not quite sure how to answer this. I guess having a 500 year old work in front of me that has transcended time and is as valid today as it was the day it was painted just sort of made me silent and want to try to learn from it.

Carlos, great job on the copy. How is the tones and colors compared to the original? I guess its very close. Anyways, very nicely done. By the way, what's your website? Allan mentioned it but I could not find it.

Hi Carlos,
You did a wonderful job on your copy and, assuming the original you posted is true color, brought far more life to the subject with your warmer skin tones (as Linda said). I don't know El Greco, but perhaps his original used to look more like yours and his colors faded over time. Nice job.
Regards,
Holly

Josef, Linda:
Thank you for viewing and for the comments.
Unfortunately the original I posted does not do justice at all to its actual appearance, in fact it appears almost black and white. I tried to come as close as possible to the original colours/tones as I could. I will try to look for another image of the original and send that one. Thanks again.
Carlos
