My self portrait is a 20 hour study completed on 22 x 30 white Bristol board. My final decision was to use a mixture of conte pencils, graphite, and vine charcoal. In the portrait I am sitting on the floor. A pot of flowers are in my lap. The flowers are meant to symbolize life. My sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy around the time I began this portrait. My smile symbolizes joy. It is also very different from my other self portraits. I have never drawn myself with this expression. I usually portray myself in a more serious manner.
