How's this? Is this a good pose? The pose doesn't matter. I paint what's beneath the surface... And not just the inner self... Below the inner self... Below even the unconscious... I paint something deep, deep down where the core self merges with a universal archetype... Wow. That sounds amazing. Can I see some of your other portraits? I haven't done any paintings yet. So far I've just been working on my mission statement.
