Ciao Roc,
veramente un bel lavoro, l' incarnato è molto bello, per non parlare poi del bronzo... la scultura di Gianni è bella ma tu sicuramente la valorizzi!!
ciao Roberto

 

[Roc]

Ciao Roberto, ti ringrazio per il complimentio, sei molto gentile.
Gianni e' un grande scultore, e' un onore per me dipingere una delle sue sculture.
Tu sei anche un bravo scultore, il Lanzichecco e molto bello.

Ciao
Roc
