Self-Portrait set up

[Kimberly Dow]

Thanks Minh for bringing this one back to life!

Igor,
That is truly impressive. I never would have guessed those were all you. This must have been a real time consuming piece. I really only considered painting a self-portrait if it is me in the mirror - but what a great idea to change up some features. This opens up a whole new slew of figurative ideas for me!

Tim,
I actually never thought about it enough (or tried it) to realize that my face would be the opposite of what everyone sees. That is an interesting aspect. Yes, I will place the mirror and canvas as close as possible in the same light. That is more challenging for me since I like to be farther away to get the likeness, but I will not be satisfied until I can do it that close as well as farther away. I'll let you know how it progresses.

Thanks all!
