i'm currently painting a portrait after a few different portraits i found in the newspaper, not to make it look like anyone.
but i have the feeling this portrait is familiar somehow, like a renaissance personality or something, and can't find who it might be,
maybe someone knows? or am i just halucinating (anyway it does drive me crazy... 
) ?

i'm afraid i don't get it ?
Heh, not really anything to get. Just a funny feature, some people have em but it is a little rare.

in fact i meant it seemed to remind me of some picture i have seen before, like a historical person or a classic painting
for the style, i am exploring portraits yes, i've been doing abstracts for a while, but i do love figurative painting as well, i noticed that by studying photographs, not necesarely copying them but observing the light in a photograph it is rather interesting to obtain a certain figurative result.
(thanks for the compliment
)
