This is really great. I am currently struggling with a self-portrait in oil and trying to keep myself from making the brush strokes overly tight. This is an inspiration. You've got sharp edges to things, but the chunky pieces of oil are vague enough at times, but perfectly placed where it counts. Well, that isn't quite what I mean.
I also love the way the figure emerges from the dark. I haven't seen the original, should go check it out. Very nice work.

In the unlikely case you end up old and alone, somebody out there will have missed a very good opportunity to be a lucky man.

I'm really bad at the friend thing, i demand and expect too much based on the fact that for a true friend, i would walk to the end of the earth and vice versa, but alas most can't handle that *sigh* i guess once a loner, always a loner

Very nice job, Paolo! I can't keep my eyes off his nose...it's right there smack-dab in the center. I saw a lot of Rembrandts at the Art Institute of Chicago; don't you love his light?---you'd do him proud, I'm sure! arrivederci!
