Self Portrait


Self Portrait, 1999. 8 1/2" x 11". oil pastel on paper.

I was very deep into my Van Gogh worship at this point in my High School career. I read everything I could find on the man. I looked at his work constantly and would put my face very close to the pictures to try and see his hand move as he placed his colors down. You can see how far my study of his work went as I basically copied this shown below while just exchanging my own face for his.
