Portrait of a Young Man As A Potato

5 x 7 inches, oil on board.
$80

This dashingly handsome tuber has a mature, restrained demeanor, as well as a goodly sprinkling of skin blemishes. But what lies within? Firm white flesh, pulsing with new ideas, or a dark and soft rot from which only more rot emerges?

What does its future hold? Political office? Or stew? There's no way to tell.

I like the way you painted the light and shadow in this picture. The subtle color changes are interesting. This picture is growing on me. Maybe I like it better than some of the paintings with showy colors.
