Hi everyone......

Just for the records, and to post something painted after soooo long, this is my 2nd rendition of King Philip II of France and its a commision painting, which will be conveyed to Euro by my good club mate Stephen

I refrained from taking in progress pics for various reasons.......as I said its my 2nd King Philip (the first one and its an-s-b-s, is on MedRom), and I had to get this dude ready by yesterday so I saved some time on "those" pics

May I point out that its my first painting of the year (SHAME) and as usual I started with the face, which was at the begining of last month, so its estimated that its my first paint job in about 7 months..........so please don't be so harsh with your words

Take care all and as usual any questions fire on........

Ray

Nothing to be ashamed of

Hi my friend just another nice job.
All the best Jose Luis

Beautiful work my friend. The best part i like is the face. That;s a motive for me to start mine !!!!!! Thanks

Love it Ray, how you managed to keep the enthusiasm for the second time is worht your commission fee alone mate. Hardy

Christos, Ernesto, Jose Luis, Costas thanks again for your overly praise

Hardy, believe me mate i found it really HARD to maintain my enthusiasm.......really was reluctant to start, but then as it rolled by I was ok.......or was I ever ? You've been quite or else I've been absent for sooo long from forums?

Take care all,

Ray

Helo mate ...

Let the others envy as I saw it in 'flesh' yesterday ... well done for the 2nd time ... it would have been nice to put them near each other to see who is the clone : )

Now its time to finish that other Ray mate ... missek tisthi ma lestejtux!

Ivan

Hi mate.....

Thanks for your words........much appreciated, however Ray de Puy has to wait a bit as I'll paint the Count of Flanders and the Gaurd Grenadier before retouching the slight corrections on "our" Ray

Really can't go sooo long without painting coz I'd need sharpening of my brushes

Ray

Wonderfull paint job Ray!!

Thanks a lot Marcel
