oil on canvas, 50 x 50 cm
Self-portrait seems to be what I am painting at the moment. The mirror is on the windowsill and really old, probably Georgian, rather freckled and not a clear reflection, and the contre jour light makes it an interesting image. I got rid of any attempts at the view through the window – it was a bright autumn afternoon, and the face swims up from the room with little detail. A lot of scraping on and off.
