Day 25

One of my favorite benefits of making a self-portrait is that the artist has absolute control over the situation. The is no complaining about holding a pose for too long, there is no need to ask the model to "move just a bit to the left," and the artist decides exactly what the face will look like.

I wanted to do something just a bit different today, both in the facial expression and in the process itself. I also continue to be excited when I have an idea in mind for what the artwork could look like, but then the ultimate outcome changes (for the better) as the artistic process unfolds.
