Actually Greek guards have lovely plissé minis in my view and You're certainly right if kilt defines a blanket wrapped as a skirt
Great new additions again. The horse though looks so skinny and underfed that it must be Don Quixote's one!

Rembrandt's self-portrait is a rather telling choice. I remembered this painting from having seen it and vaguely recollected it was one of his self-portraits. So as I did a quick search to confirm, not only found that it was, but the description on this website said he painted the folks around him as models and captured the emotion and personality.

Sounds like what you've been up to as well. . . aside from the religious nature of some of his paintings, you could argue that Rembrandt knew his sitters in the Biblical sense. But that merely confuses the issue.

What I mean to say is that you, lad made an apt choice, intentional or not, because you excel at featuring the personality of the people you sketch up on your bus excursions as well as copied study paintings. You feature that quality. And besides you doing direct self-portraits on occasion, you are not above expressing wit through symbolic double meanings. Doesn't matter whether it's always conscious or not. But because of the regular stream of pictures, I can occasionally see your thinking through choice of pictures or sitters. You're quite articulate you are.

"Rembrandt wanderin' the Halls." Very witty. Franz Halls that is. . . .

Anyway, when you click the link below, the first pic you come to is this one you just painted prior to the other self-portrait -- the bearded ol' work horse. . . or war horse. Hahahah. Very clever.

But when you click the link, read that bit to the right of the pic. It describes what you're about as I mentioned. Syncronicity, sez I, to have come upon a description of yourself in part. What he went after in a portrait is what you come by most naturally -- the emotion and character of the sitter.

Cheers, mate.
