Nice composition and good portrait.

Fantastic composition, Really love the expression, so well done Cesare

Sadly ive never heard of her cesare. It is a woman isnt it? Im very sorry if you have portrayed a man my friend. Excellent portrait by the way. Hope you are well, and your family.

Thank you John and Thalia for your kind comments.

Thank you Michael for your comment. Jean-Michel Basquiat was a man, a very popular street painter died at age 27 of a heroin overdose. His paintings are now quoted many million of dollars. I don't know why you are upset because I painted a man.

Lovely colours on this portrait Cesare

Great Cesare! Lovely colours, particularly how they blend into one another towards the bottom of the page.

Thank you Dorothy and Ibolya for your kind comments.

Thanks so much, Maureen.

You've got a very intense look to him Cesare. Do you like his art?

Super colours Cesare.

Cesare I don't think that Michael was upset because you painted a man. He thought the portrait was a woman and was apologizing to you if he was wrong and Basquiat was a man. (I hope I've put that correctly). I wondered a bit too because the portrait is very colourful and his gender isn't totally obvious, he must have been like that in real life. It is very sad to think that he died so young and never got the benefit of his fame. The portrait is a lovely tribute to him.

Thank you Marjorie. I like his art and all Street artists. Thank you Sandra for your kind comment and thank you for clarifying what did Michael means. Maybe I misunderstood his words and I apologize for that.

Wonderful drama queen!

Thank you, Linda.
