Favorite Artwork

C-nick, I think the feet need to be larger, it throughs off the perspective for me.

Which one? The birds or the Lamentation over Christ?

Lamentation over Christ

To make the feet the proper perspective would make the painting look strange to most... I shouldn't say anything about the painting but that's how I see it. Draft it out and see for yourself (unless he had small feet?)

Happy Birthday, C!

These paintings are awesome!
My dear.....what LARGE collars they wore back then!
Can you imagine sitting there posing like that for very long even without a collar?

Agreed fantastic paintings C-nick
and a Happy Bithday to you also from me

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, C-nick!!

Thank you all! And Gary, I had enough trouble posing with my cousins for pictures as a kid, my grandma was never amused, let alone wear those collars for a sitting.

Thanks again everyone,

C.nick

I love the work of Rodney Mathews, whose artwork graced many Rock albums..
This particular scene is sooooo inviting and I wish that I was present at that table, nice and cosy by that big fireplace supping on one of those tankards of ale and listening to amazing stories all through the night:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO C!!!
