Who will sit patiently at odd hours as I work
to improve my skills? ME! This is a picture of the first stage of a
self portrait. I began without a preliminary drawing. It took a little
time to get a feel for how to push and pull the paint. I lifted out
highlights to reveal the lead white primed linen panel. I liked
starting this way. It allows for both freedom and control.
