Self Portrait

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

Recently, I started a self-portrait from a photograph taken by my wife while on vacation in Maine. It is at an exciting stage. The picture can go in a number of different directions. However, it is a strong composition, nevertheless.

I was eager to try Fabriano Artistico 300 pound soft press which I am not experienced with. In fact, it is my first real painting on this surface. I do like how the paper absorbs the pigment.

At this point I could have a solo show of self-portraits. Regardless, it is always a challenge. It is hard to look at yourself without some sort of bias.
