So Does a Youth

A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid

_{My favorite play is Romeo and Juliet, does that sound cliche and odd coming from me? I have recieved many an odd glance from people for admitting this. So many people find the play to be incredible corny, they also find it strange that I love it so as I am the least lovey dovey person in existance. The reason I love the play is not because it is a romance about true love at first sight, as simply saying that phrase makes me cringe, its more of the destruction of the characters over fleeting emotions that intrigues me, more or less my inner German enjoys the romantic death.
By now you may be wondering why I am rambling about Romeo and Juliet to begin with, and when I'll actually talk about this "painting." This is a speedpaint of the actor Leonard Whiting who played Romeo in the beautiful, in my opinion best, film rendition of Romeo and Juliet. He was a brilliant actor and its tragic that many like to compare him to the actor Zac Effron, even though I believe they bare very little resemblance, and most certainly their talents are on very different levels.}

Well enjoy! I haven't had time to paint in a very long time, thus this was rather refreshing, even if it is sloppy. This has to be the smallest "canvas" I've ever painted on, the picture is only 562 x 800.
