    ...tis an honor to have you say so Mark. As with anyone, each work becomes a labor of love, including getting the essence of each subject conveyed properly. The "Earthy Tones" that make Indiana Jones were very important to communiate, and your positive fe

    ..how refreshingly observant and complimentary of you Daruma! To say the least, I am flattered to even have been in a sentence or reference along with such a great as Sargent. Wow, thanks for the high marks.

    Really great stuff Hobie! That skin tone is beautiful. I love how it looks like the brush strokes get looser the further away they get from the focal point. Reminds me of the way Sargent would force your eye to a focal point. 5*!
