black rose II

I think these portraits seem to capture the viewer's attention and imagination in such a way that it makes them focus on the beauty each subject. I love how the portraits reveal all kinds of little patterns and grooves that one normally wouldn't notice... especially with our society's modern ideal of smooth skin! It shows how beautiful it is nonetheless.

Looking at these paintings makes me feel as if I know the person... like I'm examining who they are as I'm observing all the thumbprint-like lines in their face. I love it!

Beautiful art! I'm sorry, I just had to express how much I liked it and one sentence just would not do! Thanks!
