really nice painting sir, probably your best yet. The reds are fantastic and the skin is so smooth.

Nice Mike! The face is so smooth it looks airbrushed.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I keep learning and it is makes painting fun to get better. Picked up some great tips from Matt Wellhouser at his Chicago seminar. Thin washes over and over and over on the face make it smooth, I tried to make that happen on this face.

Fabio, my trip to Sicily was excellent, so much history on one island. No plans to return soon. Pleasure to meet you!
