thanks for enlightening me as to this artist (my scant knowledge is being gradually broadened with your ‘birthday’ posts) – I’ve left my comment on your expansive tribute
Much love and Hugs right back dear Marina… Hope you have seen the News from the UK Parliament today 19th Jan…. And so it begins as the narrative falls.. ❤
What an interesting painting. It always amazes me how artists see and portray things.
It also amazes me how many artists do self-portraits. Must be something they are compelled to do.
Have you ever done yours, Marina?
I find this very interesting too which is why I choose a self portrait always (if available) in my opening to a tribute and a separate gallery for them.
Thanks for another introduction to what I don’t know. Unsure if I like this painting or not. Might be one that I would have to give it time to grow on me from a distance. Hmmmm … Yamas!

…and thank you very much for doing so. I believe your knowledge is far from scant… your observations prove quite the opposite! 😉 xoxo
the older I am, the more I realize how little I know – I think that is wisdom 😉
Oh that is so very true…
This one is a new one to me…. Always pleased to discover new Art and Artists.. 🙂
So glad I introduced him to you!
Sending love and hugs your way, my dear friend!

Agreed dear Marina… The controllers are losing their grip… But beware of hidden agender of small print gov officialdom.
Sending Love as we hold faith… ❤
Yes, my dear Sue… 🙏 ❤️🙏
I think I remember this.
That self portrait is hard to forget.
Heading back!

I know right?!!!!
That’s a wonderful painting and self partrait. I did not know Chaïm Soutine.
I didn’t either.
Marina is always introducing me to the coolest artwork and artists.
I’ve gotten quite an education already!
Awww….

Since following Marina’s blog, I’ve been struck by how many artists do self-portraits as well.
Great minds 🙂

It is amazing isn’t it?
Now you mention it, no I haven’t, however, my ‘Characters’ are probably aspects of me 😉.
❤🤗❤🤗❤
It is.
Hmmm… maybe it’s time you try 😉 I find it fascinating to see how artists depict themselves.

Ah, maybe so… also it’s a painting that is better seen in life (I know all paintings are but…)
Yamas, my friend!
