To showcase a selection of portraits and commissions from the last few years, there's a new gallery on my site entitled 'Visage', and you will find Samuel Beckett (above) in grand company amongst the likes of William Burroughs, Ziggy Stardust, Frankenstein and Lana Del Rey:

Samuel Beckett portrait by David Van Gough

11" x 14"
Acrylic on canvas
"Birth was the death of him"

So another year. Ho Hum.
Should I be lucky enough to reach relative sagehood, I hope that I do so looking as cool as Samuel Beckett.
What a face-a veritable crumpled road map of life.
What a legacy-although truth be told I'm a little more partial to Joyce.
Each to his own.
I kept this one fast and loose, and it turned out all the better for it.
With a face like that, the rest was easy.
