Scribe

Hello Folks,
Time to try a portrait again, here is a Scribe working away by candlelight, I have attempted to make it look like candlelight without actually showing a candle, just to see if I could do it really... Anyway hope you like the picture....regards to all ...Jack.

I have just realised I didn't finish painting the fingers on his hand, sorry about that, I didn't notice until I had posted it, (its old age creeping on)......Jack.

Wow! Look at you! Such a delicate touch these days with quite an eye to detail. . . You look at this guy and you wonder just what he could be writing.

In any case it's really well painted and the fact that you forgot a fingernail doesn't bother me a bit. Everything is so highly polished that it seems intentional, as if his writing hand is supported by a cloud or something vaporous, which by another interpretation could speak of inspiration. That's what that less defined area of his fingertips would suggest to me. Perhaps even divine assistance of some sort.

Really nice, Jack!

Looking really good man! I like candle light too. . and surprising how much light is actually given off by only one candle, oftentimes people don't believe it till they see it for themselves (cameras don't do candlelight in darkness justice at all, too many subtleties that the camera just can't catch).

What hair and feather! Amazing! Well done!

stunning work again, you certainly seemed to have moved to a much subtler level while still keeping your eye for detail, but I like the areas of "uncompletness" as they allow focus on the areas of detail and give the viewer room to imagine as well... excellent work !.
