Description

Oil painting on canvas 100x81 cm ( 39x32 '' )

This painting was done during the year 2007; it took me a lot of time before I could showcase it. There were scanning issues, but also a certain angst about it.
You will probably not feel comfortable about an image that has this personal a meaning, and that also has a darker mood than the previous ones I painted, almost unhealthy. I also believe that nobody is going to want a print of this! ;) ... that's why I wanted to provide you with a higher resolution file, for the small details and the dedication poured on it to be appreciated.

Some close-ups and additional information can be seen on my website on this page.

Thanks a lot, for watching !

I believe that this piece of art deserves all the admiration one would give the mona lisa or seeing the last supper in person. Your vision of the reader is true and comes from your heart. He is how any avid reader would feel reading a good book. Although there is a theme people would find graphic or dark it cannot be denied or more appreciated that the impact it has on viewers is deep and strikes true in them. Your painting is indeed the peek of majestic stucture. Do not down it. People who buy this print will enjoy it for years to come. I didnt want to give any originality stars because it wouldnt do it justice, but in order to tell you how I felt about this work the computer said I had to put down something. The originality of this work of art comes from your heart, and your heart has glow and spirit and the most originality any masterpiece has if not more. Good job. Good job.
