Self Portrait: Artist as a Young Man (Boy) or Clean Shaved - 2020 - Oil on canvas

 

One of the first paintings after a long hiatus. Was meant to have a beard but got this far and the face looked familiar.

Inspired by the likes of George Condo, Peter Howson and Yoshitomo Nara. Looks a bit like me, which is ideal for a self portrait.
