They always have the same sad, disillusioned eyes.
You’ve caught his expressive eyes very well.

Thank you .
They are the most incredible eyes , they literally burn .
They come across the years with all their despair .
His last words were , I should have never have surrendered I should have fought till I was the last man standing .
…oh, and just one more thing 
Fantastic

Done some more work on this .
Trying to get the sense of power of this old warrior .
Strange thing I painted the colours I thought best for the clothes and then have since discovered other tinted pictures of the same photo and all have picked the same colours .

Hi
Muddy, you have an amazing talent.
You deserve to be exhibited at the Royal Academy.
I am reserved in my praise of people, you I find awesome.
Amazingly realistic, Muddy!
Well done!

@Muddy, I know I joked about the clothing being like Columbo’s, but if you have a mind to, if you ever fancied doing a painting of Peter Falk, I reckon that’d be lovely.
