The Aura of Aging - Self Portrait

Working through a mirror and the challenge of self observation.

The Aura of Aging - Self Portrait

Currently my most convenient model is through the mirror on the studio wall. This small painting is part of my current return to a focus on figure drawing, and an ongoing series titled Bird Brain that reflects on the ephemeral and elusive nature of thoughts.

Drawing figures and painting them clearly require different skills. Painting small allows me to explore a variety of paths and fully understand more ways to express ideas. Some of the small paintings I repaint on larger formats, and some I make available as Giclée prints in a larger format. I like the 12x12 size and produce 5 Archival prints in this size and other sizes are available as special order.
