I like the touch-up, (from my internet copies) it appears that you added a lot of blue to the picture and put a much darker tone on your outlook. Do I see a pensive interior stare of creative thought, or that thousand yard PTST stare of shell shocked warriors. Do you read your own face as well as you read mine ? A comment about your vocation. I find your 'magic' truly skilled and mystifying, I much prefer the harder Psycho-logic-drama shows helping others to self actualize. Here your 'magic like' skills are eclipsed by your love of & for your audience (fellowman). Can you bottle that love?

Your art style has definitely changed from caricature to realistic, and from small size to BIG! Those 3 paintings are some of your best, I think. Well done and Happy Birthday for manana.x Wonderful art work Derry.Did you only show 3 pieces this time?

Is DB now keen to portray himself as a 'proper' artist? Hope so! I just hope his work doesn't become inaccessible as most work by conceptual artists (I find) often does.
