11"x14"-Canvas Board-I got into an argument that upset me and then I went online to look at some Velazquez paintings and I got inspired-painted this in two hours....furiously....
great expressive portrait . you make us feel your temper - wow - very exciting - it's such a gift, that you can ban your hot emotions in such a gorgeous way! love it :))
Very good work, Ben - probably all the better for being painted quickly. It's a powerful painting, but I'd like to see your smile though!!! Maybe you should do another one too! :)
