    a beautiful and powerful image Arnold – incredibly thought provoking and rather disturbing – beautifully portrayed.

    The seated figure is so emotive and has such meaning … you have exelled yourself with this painting

    I am sure allot of emotion went into this painting. The calmness of honesty is portrayed so incredibly well, while trickery is displayed perfectly – as foolishness. Brilliant painting.
