The original acrylic on canvas painting began as an abstract experiment in colour combination. Then I decided to gesso over areas of the canvas leaving some colour visible. This became the shape of a man's head. With the addition of eyes, ears, nose, smile and beret, et voila! the face of a cheerful man emerged. He has seen some things in life but remains resolutely upbeat and optimistic. Surely a role model to us all!
