I just have to comment. I have a smile on my face. This is great. I just love it. Sooo expressive.

You don't just paint portraits ..... you seem to "sculpt" them.
Good job , Julien!

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.
Goody! I see some hair growing back. Just in time for winter!.

I love this! The epitome of a "selfie"

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 .

Hi Julian , nice work and I see the hair is growing back!!
Anna Howard
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.

Yup, looks that way, Julian! Gave me a giggle to go with my habitual awe of your work.
I like it very much! Wine is good!
