Hi,

Now I have just finished my very new painting from my "king-series", - "The King is Boring". Oil on canvas. 180cm x 130 cm. Layer technique.

For a better view look at my homepage.

Anton -

I love your sense of humor and the fact that these appear to be self-portraits.
Thanks for sharing them - nice job!

Hi Anton--
I love the facial expressions... they express that exasperation and impatience so well (and go so well with the title)! The expressions together with the way you've got them posed makes me want to see what's going on over there to the left of them (perhaps a companion piece of the boring king expounding ad infinitum?

) The choice of clothing. . . the hats and the one boot on/one boot off... make me feel like there's more to the story --that we're peeking in on a part of something bigger. Intriguing!
