THREE STUDIES FOR SELF PORTRAIT ~ IN THE STYLE OF FRANCIS BACON

Reading and studying the art of Francis Bacon. Decided to do a self portrait in his style. This is as close as I came, this time anyway. Francis was able to see and paint distortion without the help of the technology we have today, such as Photoshop or Photobooth, and that makes him genius, in my eyes anyway.

I recently began reading, "Ham on Rye" by Charles Bukowski, any fans out there?

Peace and Love~

"Ham on Rye" is, in my opinion , the best novelization of an American life. You must have finished it by now, right?

@fromruinstudio Hahaha! Ham on Rye is about Charles Bukowski, an American writer. It IS best to have Bacon on the side table while reading Bukowski! lol It IS funny though, all these mentions of food in my latest readings, huh? You'd think I was on a diet or something but I'm not. lol
