Holy cr*p Anita!! (And I mean that in the best sense. :D ) This is one of your best!! I love the shine on the cap and the light on his face. You certainly haven't lost your touch. I'm in awe.

I like your vase in the last post too. The hatching gives it real energy.

It's good to see you posting again!

Absolutely stunning. The detail in the cap alone is wonderful; not just the shininess of the cap, but the reflections in the shiny parts, and the stitching. Just incredible.
