I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the subject grow to look like his portrait.

Well, judging by this day's
posting, I guess it can be
safely said that you have
taken quite well indeed
to Photoshop? Really
quite a treatment! I
like the use of the
reddish yellows. Reminds
me of Joni Mitchell
self-portraits.

Well...I cranked
up my Heroic Couplet
Iambic Pentameter
Machine and came up
with a rhyming pair
of lines related to the
day's image:
Self-portraiture displays extremities
of surrealistic possibilities.
I enjoy crafting a
well-turned set of
words like that, tho'
they are more stylish
than substantial, usually.
