Ed, I think that this is arguably one of your finest pieces to date. I don't think you're just playing around here, you have found techniques that work really well together. The quality and expression of that one eye is beautiful, and the sense of many levels of focus, and motion is very engaging :cool:

ETA this is a very striking image, you have done a lot of excellent work in the past, but this one is so different it would be at home in any art gallery. Congrats. on a masterly done painting. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

a atom delight for sure... there must of been some really good stuff in that coffee...

SO Creative !!! This is really a strikingly beautiful image -- I'm reminded of Dali's wife Gala when I look at it...

Great one, Ed! Incredible in fact, and very painterly...(Sorry C - cubist).

Love the tonal control, and the light and shadow, mixed with cubist stylistics to produce a totally integrated piece!
Wonderful! :D :cool: :D
