“Man in Red Jacket” (Oil on Canvas, 1985)

 



This is a really great painting in a classically-competent and painterly sense but there’s something a little bit “off” about it and it kind of bugs me that I can’t put my finger on it. I do like it though and I’m very pleased to have it here.

Postscript: It’s the mouth. The mouth and the set of this guy’s jaw look off-kilter. It’s disconcerting.
