New focus on the portrait

    The self portraits above and below, neither of which is completely finished (and which I may never finish), are a result of some recent additional studies with Jeff Hein (Hein Academy, Salt Lake City) with a focus on the portrait.
    Self portraits are a great way to practice but can be boring, so I decided to try doing portraits with off-beat expressions, for the fun of it.  These two are the result, so far.
