I asked his permission to use an image for the painting and he called himself Auguste so i just named the painting after him, i guess thats his real name

Good painting and unique interpretation of the photo on which it's based, excellent colour as always with your work. This is pure painting mixed with great imagination, boldness and vibrancy set off to great effect by the vines that frame the figures. I love it John it just seems to glow with life!

Thanks Vinny as you know i'm still getting to grips with these oil paints and am always dubious with the way the artwork turns out, i had more confidence with acrylics but hopefully in time i will be confident with oils too, once again thanks for your kind words

A pleasure John and if you can master those water based oil colours you're a better man than me. I just could not get used to them but maybe I didn't try them for long enough! Once again good, unique painting!

Keep the faith CJ i know its disheartening but you have to stay the course, some times what we do has no reward and its tough to take but like the lottery you got to be in it to win it, i have faith in your work

I banged Destiny back in the 90's, i was very drunk and caught an STD but had a good time, Faith is a bit of a good girl but you need to persist to get into her knickers, keep trying mate you never know

I missed out on Faith, I now hang around with two old hags called 
Persistence and Determination.

This is actually found in the book I'm writing LOL

There is so much material written I've split it up into three separate books. It was becoming a little too loaded.

Is this book going to be published ??? my neighbor is also writing a book on his life but i dont know who would want to read that, i hope your books good mate and if you are serious about publishing then keep at it if not then stick to the productive stuff like the painting, people always want to see paintings, i would write a book but it would only be about 10 pages long so no need there, better stick to what i'm good at, WANKING!!!!

I've bought books from Amazon 10 pages thick, seriously!

The religious element I've separated from the main body, I've repackaged it 
under the title God and the Artist.  It's about my journey, the process of finding God,
losing him, and wandering about the whole idea of humanity inventing the existence 
of a God, and the absurdity in the Idea that the universe is simply a natural phenomenon
without a creator bringing it into existence. 

My writings are just that, I think therefore I write.  The accumulated result forms the equivalent of a book.
I intend to publish it, but that is a secondary action and never the important element.

If its good for the soul i'd buy it but then again at this moment in time i'd buy anything, seriously CJ i just cant stop spending its becoming a problem, sent juju vibes to me please and i will get your painting out to you this week, and in my humble opinion God never leaves us he just lets us get on with it and exercise free will, the greatest gift he ever gave us
