Self portrait, the artist. Mixed media, acrylic, prisma-color pencils, and ink. Not the typical realistic portrait. Purpose, an insight into what the artist is experiencing. Not all, but some. I have criticised this one to myself, noticing many flaws. Agonizing that I need to paint a new portrait. Copyrighted by Nancy Costley.

Nancy, you really captured the reflective and quiet of the moment in your eyes and even your eyebrows and yet there is a yearning in your eyes as well. Great job.
