something I'm proud of,

  

Well helloooo fellow bloggers!!! So here’s my first post! This painting took me about an entire week to finish. I consider it to be a self portrait. I call it, ‘Beautiful Mess’. My art teacher said it was actually fitting. I used oil paint in thick brush strokes. I first attempted to make this painting more of a realistic, but it did not come out that way at all. Overall, I love the finished result. 

I was actually having a hard time with this at one point. There's nothing harder than having to paint yourself because honestly, we all have some type of issue when we look at ourselves in the mirror for too long. At least, I'm speaking for myself.
