Artist note: "Based on Velasquez’ “A Dwarf Holding a Tome (Don Diego de Acedo, El Primo”, the painting can be seen in the open book. Done with some of the gigantic art books I lug back and forth to the lake. The super goopy paint in the can is a point to Jasper Johns, where in some paintings he would put the edge of his palette in the painting. Velazquez “The Jester Don Diego de Acedo." _ Samuel Guy
