Feeling Blue

Can you capture emotion in art?  I think you can after seeing Jacob’s self portrait, “Feeling Blue”. 

(The painting is HUGE! Three feet by two feet.)

I asked Jacob how on earth you convey emotion in a piece.  He talked about the eyes and mouth on a person.  He also told me that even lighting in a piece adds to the emotion.  I think he knows what he is talking about because I feel emotion looking at this piece.

But I don’t feel blue looking at this, I feel PROUD.  He really is talented!
