I paint a self portrait in oils every year, sometimes more when using myself as model and in other media.
These are presented in reverse chronological order.
Portrait of the Artist as Grad Student
self-portrait at 22
Self-Portrait as Painting. Taking the traditional allegorical role in reference to Artemisia Gentilesci but with many self-insulting features. The inscription above the head reads "No day without a line" (these days, a fine art lifestyle to which I perversely or lazily don't adhere) and below, reflected, "Imitation", my primary and perhaps only artistic skill. Oils on linen, 32"x42"
