This was very difficult. I have issues… LOL! Anyway, this is oils on an 11x14 cradled panel and it took me about three weeks, letting layers dry between. I have been told that it looks like me. I hope so. I like it.

Really good self-portrait. I did one of me about 25± years ago in pastels that I posted here. Enjoyed doing while sitting in our bathroom sink with thw paper taped to the mirror.
