Artist's Comments

Oil on Canvas. 11"x14"

Done as a "study" for Saint N0.40. It is a completed work and should not be judged as a "first attempt"... Think of it as a an "also-attempt" (oh yeah... nice and awkward).

More than Saint No.40, this painting is a dead-on likeness of the sitter. I found her (Danielle) with my bogus MySpace profile. And if you never saw my "Anne" profile, trust me here, it's about as inviting as a room full of scorpions that shoot fire. Danielle, being super cool, not only got the joke, but enjoyed the joke. Sadly, she has dropped from MySpace just recently, and I never got to tell her that I have completed her portrait. So if everybody who is not Danielle could turn their head for a moment, I would like to give a private message to my sitter: "Danielle, I finished your portrait."... Okay everybody can turn back around now.

Scorpions that shoot fire are the best!

I love reading your "comments" under the work, you really are a comedy writer you witty man you... Your work just keeps getting better, I love how this is more of a close up and looks like its been cropped.... brilliant! And the detail in the the bra is so vivid, the realism factor is definitely dominant, but so much above what a photo could ever be. The sitter is amazing as well, I can see the blood coursing through her veins. :popcorn:

I love the texture and detail. I also think that the girl is probably my favorite so far, though that is not really a judgment of the artwork itself.

She looks sad. Great job on the lighting and colors, as always.

No artist is normal; if he were, he wouldn't be an artist. Normal men don't create works of art. They eat, sleep, hold down routine jobs and die. You are hypersensitive to life and nature;that's why you are able to interpret the rest of us.

Very impressive work as usual. You've really caught the hair lighting well especially with it being black, which is a dream ability for me.
