No wonder, Karin! I love the treatment of the hair and beard. Those peculiar green sparkle in the eyes are haunting. Very well done!
Oooo, I would be thrilled, too! I think this is one of my top 10 of your portraits so far! It's so full of life it almost sizzles on the page.
And thrilled you should be, beautiful color in the skin! Hope you are having as much fun with these portraits as we are seeing each new post!
