Andrea's Vietnam Bust

[Mongo Mel]

Hi Anders,
I've said it before and I'll say it again...I really like your eyes!
I envy you your ability to paint them so well
Looking forward to see ing more of this guy.
Oh...I'm curious about something. I think I've seen this guy in one of those coffee table books on Vietnam. I swear it had to be the inspiration for this piece. Has anyone else come across this picture?

Thanks for all the comments! By measuring from all the positive response I think that I have found the way for me to paint eyes. Thanks again


Craig,

Do you have this picture? I have never seen it and would love to see it!

Hey Anders,
Sorry but no..I don't. I've seen the book at Barnes & Noble on the bargin tables.
If I get a chance to look around, I'll see if I can spot it and get the title for you.

Hey Craig,

Thanks, would be great to see it!

As for the status of the bust, well, he will probably be put on hold for a while as I wasnt happy with how the flesh tones turned out so I stripped him and will re do it someday Here is a pic before he was stripped.
