Claudemir, Tom, SB --

Thanks for the kind responses. It was interesting to be forced to use only black, white, and Torrit grey (Gamblin) for the competition. The version of torrit grey I had was a kind of brownish-olive, which served me well for this painting.

But I did feel a strong urge to use more color - so I'm planning to paint this image once again, using whatever colors I want. And it will be a much larger painting - 40" X 60" ish. At this particular temple (the Bayon) in Cambodia there some 200 of these carved faces, and they're quite large - each face alone is over six feet tall. I think a larger canvas would help to capture some of the presence that these incredible carvings suggest.

Wow! Again, Im speechless in the shadow of your brilliance and tonal originality on such a rigid palette. This should grab the judges' attention!
