This is so great to see your wierd face again, but I've already been outbid at auction so will you be making any prints of this one?

Oh, I love the reflected light in your glasses! And your brushstrokes are wonderful - I can really "feel" the flesh. Like the haircut, too! I'm sure Ruth would agree that you look very handsome, Julian!

Happy to meet you, Julian!
I'm not a morphopsychologist, but I see:
Intelligence (frontal lobe), energy (eyes), sensibility (nose).
And more: a great mastery of brushes and pencils of light.
