Self Portrait December

First I did the drawing and then I tried the portrait in oils.....more colorful for sure...sort of the same feeling..still look awfully grim...however when one is painting a self portrait it is difficult work and one has to concentrate..so that is the expression of concentration....oil on canvas 20x16"

I don't know about this one, honey.

If you really looked like that, I'd say the first thing you and I better do after we win the 400,000,000 and pay all the bills is go to Rio and have a lot of plastic surgery.

Hey Hi Kate......
I am almost moved in. I hope to see a lot more of you. Glad to see you are blogging.
Keep it up. The painting is fine...but not as vibrant has you.

This woman, while beautifully rendered, is almost unrecognizable to me.
