    Absolutely wonderful ! To see the photographic quality and yet know he did it with his hand, brush and paint is beyond practice and talent.. I call it some kind of genius ability. Love it so much. Wish I could have portraits of my grandparents by him.

    I like this painting very much, This artist has some mad lighting skills.
    This jacket on this tailor is very interesting. It has some patches on it.

  • I cannot get beyond the “reality’ of his painting. Just look at the hands, they “live”.

    I love the diversity he has in his subjects. The very young to the very wise.
