Artwork from senior exhibition

This is my self portrait. It does not seem like it, but it took me a few months to complete this painting. I had a lot ot learn about composition, painting faces, and using colors I am comfortable with. I think this painting gave me a bit of reputation at school. It was posted on the Cedar Crest website. I got a lot of feed back from faculty, staff, and my class mates. This is a skeleton sketch, it's hanging behind flexi glass in the Lachaise gallery. I have five more images to post, see you soon
