Thank you everyone. I'm really pleased with how this bust turned out and it's tremendous to get such positive feedback.

A cracking paint job Tony!!!!!

That turned out really well Tony!
Like that you went for real leaves instead of gold.

Cheers,

Thanks Brian and Adrian,

Keepin' it real Adrian

Well done Tony, well done ! The textures, colors, and the natural leaves are beautifully handled, but it is the face with its superbly rendered folds and creases that really knock this one out of the park!

The bust is fantastic!
The face, the textures, everything is a very strong work.
