It is very expressionistic and inviting. Where's the long wavy hair? I love the seemingly simplicity of your work; although I know there's much more than what meets the eye.
I was just thinking of you doing portraits, and now I see a new one! I assume you have painted Ruth and Louis at times, but you probably wouldn't auction those off, so we never get to see those, although I'd like to see one. The reason I was thinking of your portraits was because I was drawing portraits yesterday .
Dear Julian, this is interesting,in many of your other self portraits your left eye glares back almost in defiance sometimes. Here there is a somewhat reflective and mildly resigned expression. Or was it that you really needed a nap? Love the palette.
