This is a recent photo by local photographer William Hoffmann, aka my dad. That's me sitting in his study next to the best oil painting I did in college. It's a self-portrait from a photo of me as a youth.
The faculty at Tyler School of Art encouraged students to paint huge with oils, and stretch and gesso our own canvasses. I stretched this one on two-by-fours. My parents have since rescued it from the garage and had it re-stretched and framed. So that's me today, next to a painting I did in college, of me as a kid.
The peacock feather on top is for the cat.
