04 - Robert Taj Moore - Derek Sammak - "Old Man"



Another painting from Derek Sammak. I like this painting because it is pretty mysterious. I don't what the expression on this old man's face means...it can be any number of possibilities. Other than that, it is just really well-done.

This painting is wonderful. I would love to be able to paint like that. It feels like I could stare at it for ages and keep finding new details about the picture.

I think it is wonderful, too. Like the picture of the Afghan girl, it evokes a feeling of curiosity. Who is this man? what is his story? I think this brings about a bigger idea of human portraits in general. Human faces and bodies are art themselves. Every person has an interesting past, a history that lies on the inside. Their outer appearance is just like a portrait of a much larger work of art.
