Hmm, sometimes we need to do a self portrait just to see ourselves in the mirror. In our minds, in our souls, much remains hidden even from ourselves. I found dketching out painting a self portrait will reveal alot. This one certainly did. Seems like the darkness and light are in a struggle in this one. It went in a totaly different direction then I originally started with. I kept it loose and free from the start. Oil is great in that way, some of the best things happen by accident. We can also f**k up a painting, but thats how she goes.
