Self when I had more hair!
Okay Mike, here it is! This was done in 1989, my first and only self portrait. I wouldn't make a very good Rembrandt follower would I? One of these days I'll attempt another. Its the old chiaroscuro attempt, fumbling along trying to follow the great master of them all, Caravaggio.
There are alot of mistakes but alot was learned from from the light in dark process. One side of the face is lost too much in shadow and the shirt has too many unsure paint strokes. Okay guys please jump in. I am curious what you guys see.
