This was intended to be a Templar Knight but when I started painting I realized it couldn't be. The hair is far too long. The "Templar Rules" which governed all aspects of their lives stated that they were to keep their hair cut short. Long hair was regarded as a vanity which they had foresworn.
Peter, John and Richard, many thanks for the kind comments. I am certainly not as good as others on this forum, but I try.
Richard, he could be any nationality, European that is all I could say.
John.
