See it?

The 1st time I saw it, I came around a corner, behind some faux column and came face to face with this life size portrait.

The colors, size, the extreme details and the head separated down a stair took my breath away.

Keep in mind I had been to the Picasso museum and spent an hour admiring the duality of man vs beast in “The Bull Fighter”.

My favorite portrait ever and I have a copy above my desk to remind me of what it takes to live fully.

Wish I owned the original but, will be happy to for a copy someday, so I can take in the lighting and shadow of the brush strokes as various and different light conditions changes it.
