Karin, this is so beautiful. If it's a mug shot, I guess he's a sinner but he has the look of a saint.
Indeed a severe portrait, it's remarkable how much emotion can be portrayed through a painting. It's almost tangible. Great painting!
Wow! What an interesting looking man. You wonder what he is thinking. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
I love everything you come up with!
I love how you paint the planes of a face. There is an almost abstract quality to your style that is very beautiful.
Cheers!
