Sergio, I have to look that particular Shah's portrait up, the next time I am in Paris. I don't remember seeing it on previous trips, but there is so much to look at at the Louvre that I get visual overload.
I am always amazed at the amount of detail in the miniatures, especially of the post Safavid period and love to someday fuse their intricate application of detail into my own work.
Thanks for the compliment on the web site and Bachi-Bazouk. I have to admit, I was under the spell of 100 different excuses, to avoid working on him. I am at the final stages of cleaning up the painting and that seemes more work than the initial phases. Once I saw your work though, I chided myself for being lazy and went right back to work.
The drive to perfection is an insane love affair. For the longest time you can't stand any sort of seperation and then all of a sudden you can't get away far enough, because you feel you are going to suffocate if you hang around one more second.
