I’ve been stuck here in the house. We had a ton of snow yesterday and we can’t get out. I’ve been bored. I decided I needed to do something soon or I’d go crazy!
I set up my portable easel in front of the mirror over our dresser, then got a canvas, my pallette and brushes. I opened the blinds so the side of my face would be illuminated. Here is the result of my efforts after a few hours. Note the light and dark sides of my face. Also look for highlights in my eyes.
If you’re ever bored, try it.

This portrait is amazing! It looks just like you!
Wow! That looks fantastic!
Wonderful portrait! One of my favorite self-portraits. I love the shadows and highlights!
This does look just like you! Great job.
The use of light and dark is great. I really like this one. You have a look of concentration.
The cool colors and low key make this a very moody, but also very cool portrait! great job!
