Description A self portrait paintedΒ  from life from a mirror...don't look very happy!Β  Was painted a few years ago after I lost my beloved to cancer and the sight in my left eye(which has come back to a large degree although there is a big black blob in my central vision which I no longer notice)

Think this painting reflects a horrid period in my life!

Very self-revelatory and honest self-portrait

A very Brave and Honest painting and it does invoke emotion in the viewer.Β  It illustrates well the sadness at this time in your life.

I seems to be very difficult to paint a portrait just from a reflection in a mirror.You captured face and expression very well and the shadings on the clothing are also wonderfully done.

First of all I'm sorry for the pain you have suffered and returning to the portrait. A portrait that is done in a perfect way where you feel very close to your mood and I thank you for sharing with us your synopsis so I could better understand in all its forms, your self-portrait 😊

Well I do say it's pretty beautiful to see another facial expression on canvas then just the usual fake smiles of the magazine covers.
