I often show myself as kind of friendly or happy but, as in this work,  I like to work with other facial expressions to get across a different mood. Sometimes it is hard to decide just what to call a painting; the first title was my first, viewer reactions generated the second, museum show suggested the third. I use any of the titles as I feel.
