  Creepy college self-portraits in oilMar 22, 2013 5:55 AM PDT | url

Enough art angst, let's get back to the ol' oil painting work I did for my senior project as an art major back in college. Today I'll get the self portraits out of the way--these came out particularly creepy. So as not to scare you right off, I'll start with the less creepy one, which I think came out later, chronologically speaking--probably in '96, and on a pre-stretched 20"x24" canvas:

And then the even creepier one that I think must have been earlier, maybe in '95, 'cause as you can see my use of lighting and the paint itself, not to mention my draftsmanship, is much clumsier. This is on an 11"x14" canvas board:

Egads! And you see it wasn't until later that I learned to hide my face from the light. Or with the light.
 
There were worse ones than this but I will spare you. Tomorrow we'll actually have a nice little landscape painting to finish up, if things go according to plan.
