Paul,

So glad you posted this. If I showed you what I was doing at 20, you would laugh your head off. This self-portrait is so acomplished. I love the sense of light. The thin highlight where the nostril and cheek come together is so descriptive. I also like the way you modeled the wrinkles in your T-shirt without making it appear fussy or overworked. Plus, the portrait has soul, which is what a self-portrait should have.
