Outstanding painting John. Love the subtle transitions on the overcoat and trousers.

Inspirational stuff John
You've definitely got our mojo back!

For me I like those tiny hands - they look grubby & tanned to me.

Stay safe,
Mike

Hi Adrian, thank you, glad you like him. Might post couple of pics one stop lighter. Tried to expose for the lighter areas and the gold work so it would show detail nice a clear.
