I find it easier to mock myself than flatter myself. This was slapped out in a few hours with the only brushes on hand... the cheap ones I buy for the kids who sometimes come by to paint.
YOU CAN NOT HIDE YOUR FLAME NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO...IT BURNS and lights up the entire night that encompasses you...even your colors show that is True, Dear Geri!!!
Now this is an amazingly wonderful and awesome use of acrylics on your self portrait!! I love the bold separation of dark and light giving this such a fantastic sharpness in contrast! Great colors and strokes of your brush!
WOW!!!! I adore the way you used for paint your self portrait and the colors. Really magnific!!! For the difference have a big value! Congratulations Geri!!!!
