Beautiful colors and textures, Sergio. What a delight. Her gaze is fascinating - I've come to look at her again and again. Thanks for sharing.

Sergio, I really enjoy your honest appreciation of your own work! I also really enjoyed your firefighter piece that was selected for a recent BP Portrait award, very much. So moving, and so wonderfully designed. I also like that you are so proud of being a firefighter as well as an artist. You're so cool!

Sergio, I have missed seeing you around as well and I love your comeback - you absolutely knocked my socks off with this stunning piece!

I have always admired how you get those eyes so life-like and now I can feast my eyes on the wonderful textures you have created. Nice to have you back!

Thanks Thomasin again for enthusiastic notices,
The piece at the National Portrait Gallery in London was definitely an adventure... I had to brake 8 doors in my art studio to get it out...
And now I have to get it in again.

This piece is magnificent!

the color tissue of the eye is made with the trembling of my hands...
