This is actually my husband posing for this one, which I did a couple years ago while we were living in The Netherlands…
The lonely mood of the piece seems to go along well with the week’s topic of “rejection”.

Very nice mood you set here.
Thanks Kate
Very cool Bev, he looks so moody and thoughtful. Congrats on the new job, don’t know if you got my comment about it, I’m still rejected as “spam” on our main blog:)
Beautifully painted! I love the lighting.
Lovely painting for a sad topic!
Stoically pensive is what I see, let the brooding stop onwards and upwards etc I say. Captured the atnosphere very well.
Thank you so much!
This is fantastic! He should post/do more!!
Thanks Steve – he never painted it (I did) but was a stunning subject.
