I'm scared to ask if you are going to do a coloured version of this and what pigment you will use.

Iam working on a series of paintings that deal with similar topics (personal death, mortality, sexuality the stong dualism of what gives life and what takes life), but they will look a bit different of course, I actually work in thin oil layers---
greys(coldgrey1+2,paynesgrey)//reds(ranging from layering orange, brilliant scarlet to maddenlake dark, all mixed with corput mortuum, englishred and layering oxid yellow to make them look bloodier)//blues(maganese curelean blue, primary blue)//layering violet for shades and shadows mostly from mussini
and titan-white egg-tempera underbuildings.

At once seriously thought provoking and still beautifully whimsical.
Grade A.
Note: I like how the moon is the flame on the candle. And I thought it was funny how the mans ring finger..well...lol. Great work.

I love the detailing and structure. Nice formation and fine depth. Interesting visuals. Mysterious, dark, and sensual.

Really interesting work. His hat reminds me of a candle, which I thought was suitable.
I love the feeling in the background

It's probably just me, but that looks like a vagina. In a good way.

passage rite points to the step from sexual orientation in the youth to a more grown up look on the topic...so the step from boy to man (and loosing the virginity is not the step from boy to man)

Ya know, that's what I was thinking.... But I hate telling artists what I think their art might mean. Being that I hate it when people do that to my art.
