I love it all the way to the blue on the arm.

Self portraits are that great way to let loose the impulse. I walk past mirrors and stop like the dog in the commercial, noticing the light on my hair, a reflection in my glasses etc. The impulse to catch the moment that makes US us! I can feel my own inspiration in this piece and have a real sense of being inside that person blowing their hair, a bit too tired to stand over the sink, and already messed up from painting or too lost in a thought to have noticed it in the shower!

Love it.
