  • "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 Paul Hockney presents a poised and thoughtful image of him seated in a suit. His attention is directed at a phone or device in his hands, creating an impression of modernity and focus within the traditional framework of a formal portrait. The soft sketch lines contrast with the formality of his attire, adding a human, casual touch to the otherwise structured appearance. The use of light and color enhances his introspective demeanor, making it a relatable and intimate portrayal of a moment of quiet engagement.
