Djourbi M, Great job on the beehive hat! I like the weathering and color very much. Looks like a fella who has seen the elephant and then some! Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing this one completed!

Coming along nicely and at steady pace, when completed it might be a nice idea if you post a picture of what it was like when you got it of EBAY along with a picture of the completed bust as an example of what is possible with spending a few Euros someone elses cast away and of course inspire others who have put the brushes in the draw for several years to get them back out.

Good evening !
Here we are...

Thank you very much for all who have followed this thread and special thanks for those who have commented.
I'm happy with the result (again a wonderful bust by Rosengrant) but I don't know when I will paint again...five minutes, five hours, five day or five years...who knows ?

Good Job! I don't normally do busts but this is one I would step up for. Wish they were still around but I think they have been OOP for quite awhile.
