Over the years I have endeavored to portray myself. Efforts at self portraits have been very enlightening. It is good to visualize the experience of oneself, the combined efforts of what one sees of oneself and what one perceives of oneself. It is a great form of self analysis and has been a help in guiding me to see myself more honestly. It has also been a fun exercise to play with the medium of paint in a portrait, painting myself means that the model might not be as upset with experimentation.
I think your paintings are incredible and I think you should paint more - again.....
