Dean Grey


Mixed media on watercolor paper - 8" x 10"

This "ugly" self-portrait represents the warped, negative way I view myself. The loathing, the shame, the hurt.

It's the "ugliness" deep inside manifested into a physical form. All the "issues" with
the way I look laid bare for the world to see.

    The person who painted this is a beautiful talented and worthy young person with gifts to share with the world.

    This is such an honest and thoughtful portrait. You really captured the inner torment in you drawing and very nicely done. Now I'd like to see the alter side of you when you paint yourself in a better place. The two pieces would be the complete portrait. Hang in there.:0)

    It's a fabulous portrait, Dean. One of my favorite pieces of yours. Very Egon Schiele. Excellent work.
