Hello All,
I transformed the previous monochrome portrait into color (please see the previous post, just scroll down). This meant more staring at myself in the mirror. I played with cropping of the final painting and I found that I liked it cropped this way.
Oh! Well I plan to do many more of this, the only model that is willing and available 100% of the time is myself. Many more poses and hopefully with a smile.

Self Portrait (Staring into the mirror)
Well done. Excellent cropping. It focuses the viewer on the expressive features of the portrait.
Yes! It is amazing how cropping totally transforms a painting. Thank you for visiting and your comments, it is truly appreciated… 🙂
