Work in Progress: Self Portrait
Not sure what's next, will live with it for a few weeks... might attack the negative spaces, although I know i should leave most, as they are quite enjoyable.
Photo is not the best quality... needed to illuminate the canvas better. Whites are bright white unaffected canvas/gesso for now.
(I am layering renditions of my face from birth to present.... from old photographs. After each minimal line drawing I cover the marks with translucent white and draw then next on top. There will be as many as 20 different years represented in the final product. I am thinking about how my current self is the layered self of years of selfs as I paint these layers and paint on top of earlier layers.)
Oil on Canvas, 3 feet by 4 feet.
