Good to know you're better!
And (somehow) good to read we're on seemingly similar paths - combining cool projects, raising kids, cryptotax-conundrums, and getting there as an artist (I'm getting tired of that struggling which people automatically seem to put in front of artist - what do you think?)
I'm not a huge fan of frames, but here I think it works! It somehow adds a splendour to a torn, doubting portrait (that's what I see...). The frame's like: "Whatever the struggle, I'm still seeing it wrapped in a golden and valuable package." :)
And I'm seeing, feeling Francis Bacon in there. Nice work, keep it up!
Thanks for your valuable comment. I’m kind of struggling because of my tax declaration (not because of being an artist) right now. Hopefully I can get back to my normal work soon ;-) I never thought that much about Francis Bacon yet, but thanks for pointing me to his work. Will look into it. But I agree about what you said regarding the frame.
