Description
I have a bit of a crush on Charlie Chaplin. I have no idea why or when it started, but there it is. There's a bravery to him, this policy of laughing through heartache, and though he went through wives like Kleenex, he seemed otherwise like a true gent. I filled the world around him with life and color, much of which is completely random, but it was fun to do.This is available as a print on my etsy shop: [link]
Painted with acrylics, good tunes and time.

Oh that is glorious? The balance of color is just great and you did an awesome job painting the man himself (well, EVERYTHING looks good, but him especially ). You really captured the color and life he put into his films regardless of movie palette monotone.
And c'mon, who doesn't have a little crush on Charlie

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it, and that the colors work well rather than just looking like a big mess.

Aw, thanks! I've never had a DD before, but it would be exciting. Every time I look, though, there's always a DD of some black and white photo of a naked woman, always the same.
Glad you like this! Thanks.

Your piece truly shows Mr. Chaplin's creative genius, wonderful job! I especially love his sly look and the multi-coloured elephant C:
