One of my latest miniatures. I did it for a contest on Spain.
Tell me what you think guys!

Great stuff Sara.
It's really good to see a different approach and painting style on this little classic.
Excellent.

Nicely done Sara, I've always had a thing for Dickensian figures as years ago I did a series of reliefs based on old cigarette cards.
Best wishes, Gary.

Hi Sara
As mentioned a different approach and I must say a very effective one ,outside the box and dramatic .
Cheers Chris

Well done and good luck at the show.

Lovely work there Sara. I too think the painting style is remarkable and innovative. It gives the idea of crushed velvet as the hat and coat material under a full sun.

Very nice... unique take on this popular figure.
I agree with Marty, looks just like rich velvet reflecting the light.

Very kool
Colin

Lovely painting

If anyone is interested it is for sale Very gñad you like it. Thanks for the kind comments!

BTW Sara, why is it called " Why Roxanne?" ?

Because he is dating with a prostitute called roxanne. And because her, he is been looking by the police (in the figure, he is on a alley of the brothel (can-can) waiting for her to ask for explanations , and you can see a wanted poster)

Very nice work Sara, a very different style on this much painted figure.

Cheers David

Hi Sara, is this the Spanish version of Oliver Twist because as Dickens wrote the story, the girl was called Nancy, and her murder was based on a real case that was in the papers at the time? I hope you don't mind me asking?
Best wishes, Gary.

Oh! I don´t use the real story of dickens. Just use the miniature for a different prupose.

In fact, I don´t read already oliver twist.

Well whatever the story, it's beautiful work! I've always had a fascination for Dickens as about forty odd years ago, my father sculpted a series of Dickens figures in 60 mm

Beautifful work, nice contrasting paint. Different and...great.
