Six at Sixty Portraits


To commemorate my completion of my 6th decade of life I decided to paint 6 self portraits...6 @ 60.  I will post a self portrait every few days...posting the sixth one on my 60th birthday.
6 @ 60 #1
The idea for these portraits is to celebrate my past my present and my future.
