Description Another self portrait, another year, another season in my life. Perhaps the best thus far. The year of dance, I'm excited to see where it takes me.

About 8 hours.

#HumanConditions is having a "Self Portrait" contest through April 30th. It'll have to be a new portrait, but I hope you'll join in just the same. See the current Home page for information, and good luck!

Really nice work - I love the colours, how they influence mood, and the composition (esp. angles of limbs contrasted to curvy flow of hair); beautiful hands. The enigmatic half smile / smirk is a nice touch. My only quibble is with the outlining of the seams in the tank top under the left arm, which has the effect of divorcing it from the figure.

Your colour development is getting crazy good! Yet somehow it's still so personal to you. I can always tell when it's on of your paintings in my inbox

Hey thanks man, much appreciated. Yeah I've been trying to push myself a lot with the colour I use, in the past year, trying to stray from my more monotone or 2 tone warm palettes that I'm so comfortable in and venturing into the bolder hues, I'm glad it shows

I just love how you paint emotion <3 I also love how clear that hand is even if it has the arm as a background. You are really amazing at details and color use <3 :'D
