This painting was done in acrylics and ink, it was titled "THE ECSTASY and THE AGONY"-It shows an Arsenal fan(I used myself as the model)- by taking pictures of myself in both moods, joyful and then in despair). I planned the composition to reveal both moods but allowing the joyful mood to prevail. It was done in 2 days but took weeks and weeks of planning and thinking. The results came out today (1st of June, 2007) and a ManUtd fan won! You can see this on the Barclays Premiership website. I was one of the 5 runner-ups! All works submitted were not to be bigger than A4 size, mine was exactly A4 size.
Is this a genuine Fan Gogh?
