Thank you everyone!

Those were my exact intentions, Debra, I was so pleased you picked up on that. I really wanted to do a self portrait that was different from 'the artist standing before the canvas with brushes and a palette'. Being an artist is so much more than that. After I have been standing in front of the canvas all day and I am showering, there are times that I still see that image as I close my eyes because it has been burned into my retina. And I am constantly thinking about what I could have done better and developing strategies. It is something that never really goes away just because I punch the time clock. That is what makes us artists.
And yes, I am always missing paint on that part of my arm.
