Portrait drawing with poetic text, original art and poem

From the studio of Thomas Hill in New Mexico comes this 18" x 24" pen and ink with watercolor on heavyweight white art paper self-portrait. Included is an intriguing original poem by the artist in the upper left-hand corner.

This is an expressive and detailed portrait of a bearded man with glasses. The artwork is rich with vibrant colors and intricate linework. Much attention has been given to the textures, such as the fine lines depicting beard stubble, as well as the lifelike rendering of the subject's eyes, which appear deep and thoughtful. The man's facial expression suggests contemplation or seriousness.
The portrait is framed within what resembles a bamboo border, creating a distinct separation between the subject and the text-filled background. The background contains various phrases written in an uneven, hand-drawn style, and the choice of font sizes and styles adds a dynamic and somewhat chaotic feel to the written elements. The colors of the text vary, with some letters standing out in bold red, while others recede in more muted tones. This compositional choice emphasizes the artwork's intertwining of visual and literary components, encouraging the viewer to consider both the portrait and the text as parts of a unified narrative.
