Hello Enzi,

Thanks for the comments.
In fact I WAS very inspired by Persian Portrait Traditions of the Shahs of the 19 Century... (Along with Russian Icons and Ingres). There is a HUGE & magnificent piece in the Louvre representing an oil portrait of the Shah... made in the miniature-decorative style.

Also was very impressed by your website... The portrait of the Black Gentleman is very intriguing!

As what concerns Louis Royo's illustrations... as an enthusiastic Icon painter find it not exactly in my philosophy... Would prefer to discover some rest of Zoroastrian frescoes instead!

Hello Lisa,

Thanks for visiting my pastel portrait...

I LOVED YOUR PAINTINGS!!!!
I consider that to achieve that lightness in Art is one of the most difficult stuff... I imagine it must be something linked with your character...

Your Football players or classical portraits of men sitting in chairs are giving me hopes that one day I could be also so "easy riding" in paintings...

May be we must live in the South for that?

Sergio, you are too nice to me. I may be your biggest fan. It is nice to have lots of work and I think you will have so much of it soon we won't see you much here! When you are rich and famous don't forget to come back and say hello. You are such a talented person with a gift for detail. I think if I saw one of your paintings in person I could stare at it forever.

Sergio,

Well I think it has all been said so I say ditto to the above.

I would like to point out how amazed I was with the sensitivity of this lovely lady and how she is almost porcelain like compared to the bravado of your normal pencil firefighters, it is wonderful!

Beth
