I fell in love with this pirate story and painting. Do you have the final painting on here? You show sensitivity to the subject and tons of varied interest areas. I can't wait to come back here and read more of your entries!<BR/>Really wonderful!<BR/>JudyThe Museshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903593989991252342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707732.post-1126212265685907472005-09-08T16:44:00.000-04:002005-09-08T16:44:00.000-04:00Thanks Harry.

As to your wondering about what we are seeing: I'm seeing a lot of chiaroscuro and Sargentesque brush strokes. Don't let it go to your head, though ;D,Laurelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050096410382276071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707732.post-1126051828724124042005-09-06T20:10:00.000-04:002005-09-06T20:10:00.000-04:00Great Chris.

And those zombie skin ytones are coming through. :-)Chuck Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835229827555396803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707732.post-1126043842298049282005-09-06T17:57:00.000-04:002005-09-06T17:57:00.000-04:00Chuck -- this one looks darker (on my monitor) tha...Chuck -- this one looks darker (on my monitor) than the previous one, which looked really red. I like the darker background, but the warmer skin tones.

Yeah, I guess I do look dead, course my character WAS a ghost pirate zombie... Another thing that keeps catching my attention is the facial hair... <BR/>Now considering we're not allowed to drive holes into walls at college, I wonder where I might put this beautiful picture? Haha my roommate Paul's going to think I'm really full of myself, having a portrait of myself around. But nonetheless, it will be a great reminder of the people back home(:Christopher Headyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484363678809309612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707732.post-1125971498444151352005-09-05T21:51:00.000-04:002005-09-05T21:51:00.000-04:00Thanks Bro.

I don't have a real good monitor though. I like the darkness. It adds to the mystery and dark side of the "Pirate". I'm sure you can highlight a few areas and bring out the detail and keep the mystery though...I think it's wonderful anyway...(ô¿ô)RORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669083486136614398noreply@blogger.com
