Oil on linen, 42" x 50"

Here's a double portrait of my brother that I finished a couple of months ago. Because there are many layers of meanings in it, I considered posting it in the "figuratives" section, but in the end I decided it belonged here because it is primarily a portrait. The figure in the background, leaning against the window, is a young version of my brother at about age 20. The figure in the foreground is, obviously, my brother as he is now. The setting is his island in Maine, in the lighthouse tower.

Instead of going on about what I tried to say in this portrait, I would very much like to hear what, if anything, it conveys to you.
