My 2nd King Philip II

[rej]

Hi everyone......

Just for the records, and to post something painted after soooo long, this is my 2nd rendition of King Philip II of France and its a commision painting, which will be conveyed to Euro by my good club mate Stephen

I refrained from taking in progress pics for various reasons.......as I said its my 2nd King Philip (the first one and its an-s-b-s, is on MedRom), and I had to get this dude ready by yesterday so I saved some time on "those" pics

May I point out that its my first painting of the year (SHAME) and as usual I started with the face, which was at the begining of last month, so its estimated that its my first paint job in about 7 months..........so please don't be so harsh with your words

Take care all and as usual any questions fire on........

Nothing to be ashamed of
maybe a little more shadow on the shield but that's hard to see on a picture

Love it Ray, how you managed to keep the enthusiasm for the second time is worht your commission fee alone mate. Hardy

 

[rej]

Christos, Ernesto, Jose Luis, Costas thanks again for your overly praise

Hardy, believe me mate i found it really HARD to maintain my enthusiasm.......really was reluctant to start, but then as it rolled by I was ok.......or was I ever ? You've been quite or else I've been absent for sooo long from forums?

Take care all,

Ray

Hi mate.....

Thanks for your words........much appreciated, however Ray de Puy has to wait a bit as I'll paint the Count of Flanders and the Gaurd Grenadier before retouching the slight corrections on "our" Ray

Really can't go sooo long without painting coz I'd need sharpening of my brushes
