Study of a Face

This is one face in a current series of expressionist portraits by Deb Massa.

"In the same way that an actor becomes immersed in a character in a play, I am absorbed by the painting. I summon up furious energy during the painting’s execution, moving noisily around the room, standing back and then rushing up, and like darts or writing on a blackboard, I fairly brutally try the next throw or cancel the previous one."
