Brian: I'm a little late seeing this beautiful presentation. I would
agree with so many others. This is a beautiful example of raising
the hobby to an Art Form. IMHO, it is a work of art. Just full of
so much tension and atmosphere. And the impact is immediate.
One of the finest examples of colour harmony that I have seen
in a while. But I think the thing that impresses me so much is
what a gentleman you are. You have replied to each person
who has posted a thread about this bust. I am just not use to that
kind of good manners. And you are to be commended for
such adherence to the principle of how we show respect for
one another. Wow, Brian, congratulations. And the photographs
are excellent as well. . .

Rick,many many thanks for your kind words of support,i'm really pleased that you have enjoyed the photo's and the finished result that i achieved,it was a real pleasure to paint and i cant rate it high enough,IMO its one of the best busts i think that was released this year,i'm still working on my photography skills but i'm glad you liked the pictures,as for the replies i feel myself personaly that its important to thank my fellow modelers individualy and for taking the time to look and support me as they have done in many of my previous posts,in all my previous postings and projects i have recieved some overwhelming support from the planeteers that have followed my work and i have to say that my painting has improved so much since i became a member in 2009,but the biggest plus for me is the amount of friends i've made on the site,the coments i recieve like the one you just posted really drive me on and i always set out to better each model as i paint,its such a pleasure to be part of a great forum like PF and long may it continue i owe it alot and again many thanks for your very kind words

Brian

Oh my, Brian: I think you expressed it so completely. Yes, what
a pleasure and what a great web site Planet Figure is. Gordy. . .
really does know how to bring a group of ladies and gentlemen
together. My best regards to you Brian, and I will eagerly await
your next project. Enjoy the journey, my friend. You realize I am
sure, . . . it isn't the destination, . . . it is the journey.

And if you'll excuse me for posting my favorite postive statement:

Happiness is a choice, . . . it isn't a condition.

Indeed, I had to get well past my 50s before I understood,
