  • "Most people don't look at a face too long; they tend to look away. But you do if you are painting a portrait"

     

    - David Hockney

    This portrait of Maurice Payne captures a contemplative mood with the subject seated calmly, hands resting on his lap. His white hair contrasts against a soft green background, and his outfit—featuring a black coat, scarf, and light blue jeans—adds a sense of both casual and artistic sophistication. The simple composition, including the lined floor, brings attention to his quiet presence and intense gaze, which invites the viewer into his reflective demeanor. The combination of soft tones and vibrant blue adds a balanced yet striking visual impact.
