If you increase the height in size, you loose details and sharpnes, if the DPI (dops per inch)  is not high enough, I know what I talk about, having a career in Graphic design, and picture treatment.
Keep up the good work, Bernt  ;)

i tried to adjust your new double pictures with a software (free of charge), called 'Fastone Image', with a few clicks , but differently for the top, dark background, and the bottom, with a light background.
I did also increase the saize to 1200 pixeles in the height.

I took some new pictures with a black and purple background, but I don't think anyone was really good.

Very well painted !!!


This white background renders the painting so dark ... try better cream, light brown as thephotocell of the camera is totally blinded off by the illumination light a flash light...

The quality of your painting rises at the same speed as the pollution on our planet, but with an opposite effect = exquisite pleasure ofr the eyes, perfection in the details, and for a size that constitutes a huge challenge for many painters : 28-30mm!


When the oceans receive annually 50 billions tons of plastic from the most dangerous species of living organism on earth: the man (unable even to control his birth rate, and without predator above him... than himself!!)


Bravo, Jean-Paul!!!
