Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A low key but thought provoking rendition.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Harmonious colors. Good framing. Subtle lighting.

Very nicely done. I have not heard of using black sandpaper with silver and gold point.

It is a very haunting but beautiful picture of Jesus. He also looks sad.

You are welcome. And your Jesus looks more like the real one. He has the right kind of features as a Jewish person would have.

Comment from allanoak
I never heard of painting on black sandpaper, but after viewing this I can see that rather dramatic effect it has.

It is a very haunting image. The very subtle light shapes the image. But it is the shadows that make the image dramatic. the dark shadows around the eyes create mystic.

Nice framing of the face by the hair and garb.

Thanks for sharing, what fun to see the work you do.
