Self Portrait with the Stomach Flu

[Mara Schasteen]

Thank you Julie, Thomasin and Richard. Thank you for realizing the artistic expression involved in painting this self portrait. Unfortunately we are pertty much judged only by "how much it looks like you," by the general audience. I thought I would also post a closeup to display the brushwork.

[Richard Monro]

It is even better in close up. The dull look in the eyes says it all.
