Boy With Painted Face

I was a bit jarred by the makeup. Sort of like a Dr.Jekyll/Hyde He was a nice kid despite the mask.
It is significant of Dia De Los Muertos, Day of the Dead, a holiday.

Great portrait BV

Yes, frightening. And some post modernist are getting permanent tattoos similar to that.

A strong portrait - scary and intriguing as well as technically impeccable! V

Nicely captured and presented in b&w, Neil. I'm sure he was thrilled with the way his paint job turned out. Very impressive.

He's making a good point. I like him- and the photo....

Superb artistry in the face painting but somewhat disturbing on someone so young. Hope it is not a forecast for the future.

This did stop me in my tracks - strange how the eye on the mask side looks sad and the one on the other, happy. Great capture V

The artist did a good job with the makeup and you got a fine portrait!

It's almost a work of art and very intriguing to look at his "real" face and the painted side. Great portrait.
