This is my new easel, and yes, I finally did finish re-painting the walls in the studio.
Okay, I know it's scary - but this is a work in progress and an assignment in the oil class I am taking at the comm. college. Yes, it's a self-portrait, and our artist of influence is Chuck Close (if you
google him, you will see some of his work which will make mine make more sense). I'm experimenting with color (obviously) and soon also with pattern values, so stay tuned, it if turns out, I'll post a photo of the finished painting, which by the way is 18" x 24". I didn't want a realistic self-portrait, because I am not royalty (surprise), and think it would feel strange to put out a giant painting of myself, but since I'm making it so abstract - it could end up being fun to keep!

It looks great, Tina! I think you're doing an excellent job. It would seem a bit self absorbed to make a giant painting of ourselves, but it's your class assignment, right? So nobody will think YOU are your favorite subject.
Keep it up!
