Clive, I am very flattered that you see this in my work because I think you are a master of these things (see my blurb on your portrait).

Thank you!

David, thank you, I really appreciate your comment about the face. It was a challenge getting it to come alive. I think having a very detailed reference material and supplementing it with actual living models who are relatives helped a lot!

The trip was amazing! Here we are standing on the edge of the Baltic Sea in the sleet.
