zdepski's oil painting of pope john paul
Ole John Paul in his decline... top of the heap, lookin' up. This piece is owned by Oronde Kairi of Philadelphia PA. I hadn't meant any disrespect to him when I painted it.

O.Kairi got a chuckle out of it, so it's his now.

You captured the word and the decline perfectly. Even if it seems funny there is still a lovely touch of sentiment within your painting.

I think his posture has been captured exceptionally well.

This painting is perfect for this week's theme. His posture says so much. It's great! I love the mood and lighting you've created

This is really exquisite, and done with so much care that somehow it doesn't seem disrespectful to me.

It's funny, but also sad. The colors are absolutely wonderful.
