She has an old school style, which I can really appreciate. The skull appearance puts it over the top!

I like that this guy finds the time to pursue wisdom and study the finer things in life and death.

thanks Marcus. 

 I guess when you are dead already you have extra time to keep up with history.

I love the blednding of old school portrait style oil painting of someone in nobility (presumably) but with the creepyness and more spooky twist of the skeleton figure within - this must really have enhanced the vibe around Halloween around the house if it was hanging! I really enjoy seeing some of the non comic art (fine art, illustration art, whatever you want to call it) pickups you add from time to time such as this. congrats!

thanks Kavi.

I really love Michele's work she tends to do themes when she does a set of paintings like this series was nobility of the 18th century. she also does alot of religous theme also woth nun and priest figure. thanks for the nice words. as I get older l like to broaden my scope as far as my taste in art.another benifit to being a member on CAF. I have found some great artists that aren't trditional comic artists.

Love the baroque feel of this. You coud have told me it was a couple of hundred years old and I would have believed it! And the frame really sends it over the top!

I think that is the appeal of the piece.it adds to he flavor of the painting.
