Most artists attempt to
portray themselves in one or more self portraits
during their careers.
These portraits do
more than simply show us what the artists look
like.
They often reveal the artists' personalities,
interests and life styles.
I added a little bit of green (complementary
color) in my hair and shirt to take the heat off
this painting, but to keep the warmth of the
portrait.
I also dragged some cadmium
yellow dark from the background in my shirt.
