Lol Jeff! I should have thought of that to start with. "No sweet heart, the bathroom doesn't need new paint, the weathered look is all the rage." She'd never buy it.

Well done Sir.

Mike

Excellent brushwork on this veteran!

Joe

Lovely job on this particularly like the hands and leatherwork

Keith

Thanks Mike, Joe and Keith. I hadn't checked in on this thread for a while, and I am glad to see that you all enjoyed my efforts. Carl's busts are so well sculpted and so full of character that it is a pleasure to paint them.

This has a lot of character and great skin tones (lifelike).
Cheers

That's indeed a great piece of painting. I like it a lot.
