Gordon

Great work, I like the campaign look. Very nicely done the eyes are particularly well painted.
Excellent.....John.

Awesome, love the textured painting. These get better and better.

It's hard to remember how small this bust is! I have a 'pet hatred' of enlarged photos, which blow up all the gremlins in a model, but your work is so precise that it copes with this magnification easily!! Amazing work Mike.

Andy B

Damn! How you do dat ?

Joe

wow, your work just gets better and better

tony

Wow, that is just amazing paint work. Beautifully done!

Scott

Excellent painting. This fellow really looks like he has been in the desert for a while.

Well done Mike !

The flesh tones are out of this world, acrylics or oils?

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments.
Chailey, it's all various acrylics.

Pondering whether to do another bust or back to little fellows.
Decision time tomorrow, bedtime now

Brilliant effects.

Cheers Ken

Superb art work Mike I do love the way you put the tones together , what I very much like is the fact this is how you paint for you not for the camera if that makes sense . It was very prominent at Euro a few years back to paint in a very photgrafic way it never appealed to me but it supposedly looked good in a pic , yours is natural and more importantly your tonal work is seamless
Looking forward to seeing more
Regards Chris
