Thank you! I try to illuminate my paintings in the style of the Quattrocento and the Pre-Raphaelites, without abuse of chiaroscuro. I try to project a light that does not come entirely from this world.Firiel on August 14, 2012, 7:16:47 AM

Hey! Thanks for your kind words! Yes, I love the Italian Quattrocento but unfortunately I am of our time. I do not have any time machine except my imagination.
Love the strong skin tones. It really makes this picture stand out! The robes have many different colors though, so it confuses the light source a little. However, everything else, ESPECIALLY his great blue yes, is great!
