Oil on Ampersand Gesso Board
Although I've been drawing and painting for over 30 years, I'd never taken the time to paint myself. After participating in a portrait swap at the end of last year through Karin Jurick's blog "Different Strokes from Different Folks", I was inspired to give myself the gift of a self-portrait. I wanted to go for that serious, sensitive, "see through your soul look", but I think I just look like I'm going to cry. I think I should have left my glasses on. hehe
