Hello!
Very iconic Julian look.
Started Ruth's book-perfect companion to your paintings. Give the backstories to some of your paintings, lovely :)
Hope everyones well, stay warm!

Obviously, I haven't done it, whatever it is.
What's the deal, two pairs of glasses? If it would make me paint more like you, I'd weear most anything.

Painter’s notes

People often ask why I look so serious in my self portraits. Well, try looking at yourself in a mirror for an hour and a half while concentrating on a difficult task. ps. the beard is not as long as it looks but it is as grey as it looks.
