I like it, but then I am bald all the time! Much better in the summer. Watch out for the sun though, you've lost SP 50.
The painting is wonderful, your head like a a gleaming calabash, and the glimmer of your nearer eye so subtle and expressive. Makes me want to get a haircut.
Lol! What a perfect way to commemorate your new look, with a self-portrait! Looks great, Stylishly hip.
(..Maybe paint Ruth a nice vase of flowers for when she returns?)
Oh my gosh Julian - that beautiful hair, noooooo! I actually like it, the cut and especially the painting, but I think Ruth might kill you when she gets back from her trip. ;)
Done the same myself(every summer)lovin your output at the moment & that's exactly how i would try to do my own selfie !! Need to come down for one of your courses!! Thanks for the continued inspiration JMS (:-))
I don't know what you look like , but I like the heart over your left temple - perhaps the remains of a kiss?
And I love the countless countenances playing in your head - a woman, a child , a dog and now and then other almost focusable folks... And the hearts cascading like flower petals from the one at your crown to the heart at your frown wearied with brown showing the evolution of a loving thought.
And that is just the beginning of what I see in this self portrait.
That left eye is the most stunning bit of genius in the painting - feels as if you're master of all you observe - and your observations are, as we all know, spot-on. Brilliant work. Enjoy the coolness and freedom of the haircut!
