Oh, Peter! If I had been the judge of a self-portrait contest I would have voted for yours. My attention just zooms in on you. And there's warmth, humor, and an upbeat feeling. Plus, I love how you made those diagonals in the composition pointing towards the canvas, which is not right in the middle, but slightly to the side. And I also like how you included additional "information" in the portrait so the viewer can have an "I Spy" treasure hunt to discover more about you. But I can also just look and appreciate the painterly way you mastered all the details. Just the supply cart alone would make a fascinating still life. Thanks for posting the closeups.
