Faces - Puzzels of Our Past

Finished this today. It was done for an Self Portrait Challenge for 2008 on the Acrylics forum at WetCanvas. Today was the first day we could post them.
It ended up very different than I originally thought what I might do, and somehow I ended up with two figures. One of me from about 25 years ago and one of me now.
Very gut wrenching for most artists to paint themselves, and most don't do it very often.
I had wanted to try this technique, and thought the portraits suited it. This is done with Golden Fluid Acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas.
Not sure if I'm totally finished yet, will hang it and think on it for a few days. I have to do that will all my paintings. Then I'll varnish it and it will be done. I've already got a couple more in mind for a series I think.
What are you thoughts on this painting!!!

Self Portraits

Self Portraits, a nemesis for some of us.
True to her word, jafabrit has posted three of her self portraits, she has done in the past, which I think are wonderful, thought provoking examples of her Artistic talent. Go have a look. Thank you Corrine.
If anyone else has a self portrait to show, drop a line here and we will go and have a look see. It's always so interesting to see what others look like, and view themselves.

ME, MYSELF AND "I"

Ok, here it is, finished it on the weekend!

Found it hard to try paint myself, have trouble doing family too!! Would rather paint strangers.......hmmmmm must be some "Freud" thing about that one. Well its done, and I'm posting it.

There was a challenge on at WetCanvas in the Acrylics Forum. To post a SelfPortrait. by the end of the month. That's what this was for. This is my first of me in Acrylics, on Gallery wrapped Canvas. What do you think?
