This time TWO lovely ladies to accompany me in praise. I've been commenting right to left on these portraits, having first reviewed from right to left. First, though: congratulations on your well-earned sale, Kevin. Lucky buyer! Then the gown and brushes, head piece sometimes but I definitely do not remember the sad feather in the cap, but the trendy eyeglasses are a pretty addition, as they are with Buffalo Bill and Teddy Roosevelt. Anachronisms are a trait I love in chuckling comedy, such as these "portraits" are.) I have no idea what the nearly half circle is for on the back wall, and I do think the lips are too firm. I once spent a whole afternoon trying to get the mouth right on one of Rembrandt's self-portraits meant to be accurate --- finally pitched the whole thing! Here, too, the mustache is a bit groomed, especially the twirled sides. My first glance, I took his left side for a tooth pick! Personally, I think that would fit in quite well! But the main non-Rembrandt feature here, I think, is the lighting of the whole image: figure and surroundings. Of course, as with all of these Self-P's, the real model is Kevin. And what topic could be nicer and more fun! Peace, etc., Bruce
