happy birthday to me

Portrait of the Artist

8x10 acrylic on hardboard panel

Well, I figured its been ages since the last time I tried a self portrait, and a birthday seemed like a good time to try.... 26 today, in case youre wondering :) And the whole self portrait thing hasnt really gotten any easier, even though Im definately a better artist than I was the last time I attempted this. I look a bit anxious, dont I? Serves me right for trying to pose and concentrate on painting at the same time.... weird experience. And Ive decided my nose is impossibly weird. But fun to try to paint.

Hope you like it too :)
