I'd like to see this one 80 feet tall with the caption for the ad to recycle your scrap gold. If there is such a thing as scrap gold. Blood gold that is!!! Yes I like this approach as it has an over all consistency and painterly approach to a soft edged face, guess we'd say soft focus in Photography.

As a painting, this really succeeds--the intense gaze is still the cogent feature; the painterly texture brings it out of the cultural world and into the world of art.

I like the clarity of the previous one and love the texture on the face in this one. It is a toss up for me. They are both really great, Laurie.--skunk
