I did this bust a while ago as a commission from my son and his co-workers. It was a birthday present for the owner of his company. I only had three days to paint it and I had never done pin stripes before. Luckily the painting gods were with me.

It’s a Life Miniatures 1/9 bust.

Acrylics & inks.

That's fantastic painting. Looks very portrait and life like. I really like how you've done the suit. And the bow tie. I like it all.

Thanks Steve. Working under pressure paid off on this guy. No second chances.

Incredible. I paint at a glacier like speed. I may try to press myself harder on something from the grey army and see if I could.

Hi Colin

Fine painting on this , you’ve captured the flesh nicely , liking the pinstripes

3 days ...no pressure there then

One very lucky company owner and a great gesture from your son and friends

Cracking piece Colin, really captured the look of the man and those pinstripes are really sharp.

Very nice indeed. I really like the depth of colours you have got in the suit and the hat, and the pinstripes look great!
