Looks a bit like Ian McKellen, no? lol A wonderful job on this painting, Jan. You are a lady of many talents. I like his hair and his sagacious look. Well done.

I love the warm and dramatic colouring, and I would have this on my wall any day! His face is wonderful too; strong and reassuring. The rounded doorway in the background looks right for a hobbit abode. The texture of the hair... but I could go on. :-)

Best of luck in the contest. :-)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
