Friends Are The Thieves Of Time
Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626 CE)
I have a friend who loves Francis Bacon, I painted this portrait for him. As I researched Bacon’s life I found a multifaceted genius (very rare), gift wrapped in mystery.
” Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” ― Francis Bacon

He lost his position in court, Bacon didn’t let that get him down and set up protocols for the scientific method!
