This is a 30x40 oil, self portrait done 4 years ago. I am working on my first draft of selecting and placing my portraits in the Guild's Gallery II. This is my largest work, so far. I just don't see how I can store many works of this size, so I limit myself to 16x20 and 16x24 sizes. This work started as a monochrome underpainting, done in cobalt blue. This work has hung at the Ridgewood Art Institute and at the Art Alliance in Red Bank - in both cases a significant first for me - one that gave me a needed boost of encouragement.
I have several smaller preliminary works that may be of interest - still seeking a way to share these in the show to chart my journey over the past 10 years.
