Six at Sixty #2

6 @ 60 # 2
4 x 4 oil on board



I am painting 6 small 4 x 4 self portraits to commemorate my upcoming 60th birthday.  This is number two.  The idea for these portraits is to celebrate my past, my present and my future.

  2. This is really wonderful Maria. I love how your self portraits have you looking away. A bit mysterious. I also love how you used the cool and warm tones in the face. Beautiful
