you really had a feel for oil based crayons and pastels, you knew how to express their viscousness. This is the closest to Picasso I've seen in your work (early, on the edge of cubism picass); and it also has a bit of de Kooning in it, and even some Kandinsky, in its forms and intensity. Very compelling. And you've zeroed in on the face so we're pretty much looking into this person's eyes. Very intense once again. Your portraiture often dived into your subjects; and you create a very dramatic state of mind here, with almost fauvist colors. Terrific.
