James Ensor

(c)1983 Ralf Schulze

I painted this while in the last year of college.  I am a big fan of Ensor!  He is the greatest skull painter ever!

I just found this rolled up and stashed away up in my Bainbridge NY barn.

It is a large 30" x 46" oil and acrylic on paper.  It is holding up well for it's age.

I searched all over the internet for the original photograph that I used to paint this and it was nowhere to be found!  It was a black and white photo in an art book at the time.  If anyone finds it let me know!
