This portrait of Matt has been hiding under my bed for about a year now, among other canvases that won't ever see the light of day. It is unfinished, at least for my standards, but with time I actually started to rather like it this way.

_{I had started this painting in a fit of anger over people here often telling me I either paint over photos, or cannot paint at all since I mostly do digital work. Maybe I wanted to prove that, "Naaaaah - I know how to use a brush, thank you very much, now get off my back."
The need for doing that has ceased, not because no one says above mentioned things anymore, but due to the fact that I really do not care anymore. Think what you want to think, as the people that count know the truth.}
