A Semblance of Self (Self-Portrait)




This is quite simply a bit of practice, as I can't imagine using it for anything specific other than that. I tried to do an honest representation, to capture a certain mood in which I find myself in frequently these days...
I enjoyed this painting very much, as I'm slowly beginning to loosen up my application of paint, although I still need to take it further without jeopardising the familiarity of the 'sitter'.

Your work is refreshing, the pieces you have created are pure inspiration. You manipulate the brush in a way that justifies the word 'art', my only disappointment is that I cannot see more.

Thanks a lot for that comment Micah, its very much appreciated.
An artist can only endeavour to better his work through hard work and persistence, as he is himself always a work in progress.
