I do like this....I was drawn to the book, marked with life, and I wondered if his life reads like a book (whatever that may mean). I'm starring this for more thought. I like it...a lot! Thank you...!

One of my favorites! And I love how the artist uses green tones in the skin, maybe more than most do.

It’s such a good painting, and what’s weird is that he mostly tried his hand at abstraction. I just wish he had done more portraits like this with different colored backgrounds. He was fascinated by the meaning of color and how it works and was an interesting character for sure. This is a self portrait.
