SELF PORTRAIT FINISHED

I finished my self-portrait.   As I explained earlier, I was in a situation that was very stressful and wasn't getting any better, only worse, with no end in sight.  I was miserable and wanted things to change.

I made a change.  Things are much better now, and I don't feel this way anymore.  But I needed to express it.  

forlorn

adjective
1.    desolate or dreary; unhappy or miserable.

anguish

noun
1.    excruciating or acute distress, suffering, or pain.

I can't decide which fits the situation better.



Here it is, thorns and all.

This is acrylic on canvas, 10" by 10".

  2. Very brave, Terry... and on top of it all, it's a great portrait (just glad it no longer applies).

  3. Thank you, both! Emotions can be so ephemeral (thank goodness). But, they all have a place in life. The lows make the highs that much better.
