Wow... This is pure talent and great artistic work
You have carefully selected those befitting colour, the fist painting was like a draft while the second one look exactly like the Lord chancellor is getting prepared for a town hall meeting... lol
You are actually full of fun outside steemit. Francis Bacon should be smiling at you now.
winksI hope i will get a painting of myself also @reddust...
And don't get over worked while on your painting, take refreshing time.
Lord Bacon was a master orator trained in the traditional ways of codes and conduct. Plus he knew the secret arts of persuasion, he knew how to use words (spelling) to caste spells over his audience.
He lives a moderate life and left a footprint
As a Buddhist I am trying to leave no footprints...hahaha, Sir Bacon did leave a large footprint in the field of empirical science.
Haha ... A Buddhist
You certainly must be remember for something.
