Unemployed Man

This is a self-portrait, painted quickly and intensely. I don't know if this painting is finished yet, but I feel that it is.

I want to utilize the main attributes of paint so that I may create images that have a sense of mortality and life, no longer a sense of inert permanence. Motion is becoming very important to me in my paintings.

Happy Birthday!

I really like this painting. The expression is awesome. The energy of the paint is really nice as well.
