Marina, this is awesome!
It somehow reminds me of those classical paintings of Christ with John the Baptist (?), but with much more "umph". I love it!

Michele, Tom ,Enzie,
thank you.

Those with technical skills but no creativity.
Those with creativity but no technical skills.
Those with both.
Those with "business skills"

Thank you, Heidi,
I was very excited with this project even before I began to paint : I knew the skin tones and the hair would be fun to paint. And it was !
