Rethinking Then and Now Self Portrait


On the left is my memory of a self portrait painted when I was 19. On the right I reflect on me now. This appears to be considerably changed from yesterday. Mostly I made color adjustments to reproduce what I really painted. "The Then and Now Self Portrait" is acrylic on an 18 " square canvas. After Rains's impression that I painted myself too old, I changed my posture giving myself a neck.

I think I like the expression of me without the neck. So here I go and return it to the other way.
