Thanks. I was just curious and am surprised that there haven’t been more yes answers.
What prompted me to ask is that I considered for the first time what an oddly mismatched trio of portraits I have on display, wondering what, if anything, it says about me.
On the cabinet above my desk there’s a small framed graphite portrait of Bob Dylan that I bought from a street vendor in Berkeley many years ago.
In the hall there are framed reproductions of two red chalk drawings of Rembrandt, one of them a landscape and the other a self-portrait, this one. They were gifts.
And in the living room there’s an original brush-and-ink portrait of Bodhidharma that’s poster size and looks a lot like this. I won it at a fund-raising dinner for a Zen center.
I have other artwork around, but these are the only ones that fall into the portrait category. Since I’ve been studying portraiture myself, I suddenly saw them as distinct.
