This is so poignant and what an excellent idea to use sepia to commuicate the sadness, the emotion behind the mask. You art filled with emotion which you express so well. I can feel his sadness and I love the big tie. It is a gift to be able to combine you sense of playfulness and whimsy with deep emotional and psychological content. You are an exceptionally talented man. Su arte es muy precioso.
