I got the idea of posting Not Quite Dorian Gray from a suggestion I received in a comment on Being A Hand With Dinner. This picture was used as a wall painting behind the dinner table.

Actually, I was on the same thinking path as Sandi ... melting chocolate came to mind. I love the layers you achieved in this creation. Outstanding work John.

Not quite Dorian Gray is right but it's not Dobie Gillis either Maynard. Your creations crosses all genres.

Excellent processing to create this wonderful abstract piece of art. Love the expression on the subject's face. Nice layering and presentation.

Terrific, John. I see you've been through the layers and the embossing and thrown up against the blinds. I hope you don't mind that I am going to rotate you 90 degrees clockwise now...Oh, Hello John! You look so good in those shades of brown.

Not quite Dorian Gray, but maybe a bit of Picasso? Another creative masterwork, John! I love the color palette and the look of crinkled foil smoothed out on top of that delicious-looking chocolate bar background. A fascinating piece!

ive recently been inspired to paint like this... cutting out different textiles (acrylics and oils on different mediums) kind of hodgepodging in a very artistic way. i like what you did with this pic, def what i would be looking to do
