This (tall poppy syndrome) is a perennial trait of the Australian psyche. So I'm glad (?) others nationalities have it as well. Nice expression on this guy's face too.

This is perfect!
I really like this piece. What medium did you use?
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Great portrait! Love the expression, texture and colors and painterliness.
I usually cringe at displays of T.P.S.- I def. don't groan audibly as I feel sorry for whomever has it.
relly nice portrait.
beautiful.
The idea (and the caption) that it is all about "excess" does'nt restricts it a bit?
still nice

AWESOME painting!!
Nice job! Did it take long to do it?
You made the pick of the week! Wonderful expressive piece and congratulations, Neil!
The style and technique of your piece is reminiscent of the cover art for Jethro Tull's Aqualung.
The name of the artist who did the cover art is Burton Silverman. Is he an influence?
nice work and congrats on the honor!
