Water 1 - Acrylic on Canvas 24 x 36 Experience or Experiment? (in progress) Oil paint and Acrylic 24 x 30 I started this painting in 2000.  A self portrait, me, no make-up, "au naturel" with an expressionless face.  Just a study of my face as it bounced back from the mirror.  Mom had just died,  lost my job, our home and the marriage was on the rocks.  The good part was painting.  As the image bounced off the mirror, I think it brought me back.  It remained incomplete though for the next 8 years Picked it up again in 2010.  In Vince's basement and continued to work on the face.  I had aged of course but still needed to know more about this person looking back at me.  The darkness hung above me as I mixed the paint on my palette.  I think I knew what to do but was hoping the face would yell it out at me.  2011 in the living room of my cozy 1 bedroom apt.  Love it.  I feel like decorating that ...
