This portrait is inspired by someone known as "The Mustache Man."

The furrowed brow and darker tones set a contemplative atmosphere. These elements reflect this depth of his intellect and the way his sharp mind can turn inward. Driven by high standards, he can be critical of himself.

People who meet him, first notice the aspects of his character represented by the visit highlights. Bursts of color reflect his adventurous and goofy nature, the warmth throughout speaking to his core, caring and genuine.

The balance of dark and light, serious and playfulness captures a duality. It is a nod to his uniqueness, as is the only brown flower, the Calycanthus, in the background.
