I still have to varnish this painting, but I'm proud to say that it's signed and completed. I made my final adjustments today, which are always the most crucial. I always forget how hard self portraits are, but my goal with all of them is to simply capture of likeness of myself at a particular stage in my life. In many ways, an oil painting captures a better feeling of who I am, as opposed to a photograph of myself; it's a much more emotional experience to look at a portrait Vs. a photograph.
