Official Self
This is my first "official" self portrait.
It is done on gesso panel, 14 x 11. I still have just a few tweaks to do but I have to put THAT nose... away!

Oh thanks Eric... here's the eye.
It's amazing how things go a bit smoother when you really know your sitter!

Well, Beth, I will definitely be able to recognize you now when I see you. I will be the one asking you to just turn to the side...just a little more...yes!
I love the pose. It gives you an inquisitive look. You have almost given me enough courage to post my self-portrait. (Almost but not quite.)
There's so much wonderful color in the skin and lively brushwork. Thanks for posting the closeup--that area around the eye is especially full of colorful lights, and fascinating to see up close.
Alex

gorgeous!
The close up of the eye really impressed me: the subtlety of the colors is fantastic. I love those blue. I like the background too, it really adds a dimension.

Beth, grate self portrait. Wow! I second Alex on the self portrait encouragement. I would love to see a close up of the nose and lips. The sense of translucency is smashing.
