Self Portrait with Tea
28x22
Colored Pencil on Sanded Paper

I set up a photograph to work from for this piece. More recently I began experimenting with creating a self portrait working from a  mirror, a task that has proven very challenging. I am now working in oil, pastel, and colored pencil, and I focus on portraits and figurative fine art.
