Fantastic!
lovely!!!
Oh, beautiful. Anybody who's seen a really well executed sculpture, like Michelangelo's David, knows exactly what this is about,.
This is really an interesting piece, the painting deceived my eyes from the start, and I'm still having trouble recognizing it for what it is.
He has fallen in love with his own masterpiece.
