Francis,
Your paintings are really excelent, particularly the old monk.
It appears to in the traditional style. Is it from real life or is it a copy of a master ?.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Joe

Well its a double plus and it certainly comes within the” Reality “category and you deserve great credit for an excellent painting. Great stuff and keep up the good work.
Regards Joe Coyne
The Monk piece and the other images I have seen are very nice. How do I contact you about your work?
