This is gorgeous. I personally would have preferred a slightly more historically accurate costume; Sabatini made great efforts toward historical accuracy, and Peter Blood's piratical career can be pretty exactly dated from around 1685 (The Bloody Assizes)-1689 (The Accession of King William) -- in Russian terms, during the Regency of Sofia Alekseyevna in the reign of Peter the Great. (Relevant artists are Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller, and William Wolfgang Claret.) But that is just my own pedantry.

Your paintings have a wonderful glow about them, reminding one rather of Mucha and N.C. Wyeth. The mood is very sensitively conveyed; although the painting is extremely detailed, the details don't seem fussy, but all contribute to a unified effect. Really, really fine work. Congratulations.
