Video Series: Self-portrait 
(18.5" x 16.5",
oilstick and acrylic on canvas, 1989)  

I think I did this to prove I could paint a face that looked relatively real. It looks kind of corny and melodramatic, like a combination of a Thomas Kinkaid painting and Michaelangelo's God touching the finger of Adam. But I like it nevertheless.

Oh, the reason I call it video series is because it was part of a series of paintings based on home videos.
