Acrylic Self-Portrait

Alice Cook, Painted Selfie, 2014, Acrylic
From the same photograph that I used for the line drawing (see previous post) I created this acrylic self-portrait.  It is one part of a mixed media work commenting on technology and the use of self with the technology.  Layers of transparent and opaque acrylic was applied to the support, which is Bristol paper.  The size of the selfie is small, 6" X 6" approximately.  This is my first painted self-portrait, and I am happy with the results.  It does resemble me in small ways.  Enjoy!
