Glare on that Crazy Hair!

8" x 10" oil on board, on the easel, wet, and bouncing the flash

This started out as a very, very labored-over self portrait. Issues...Oh, I have issues...and then I scraped off as much paint as I could (The painting looked much better as a ghost painting.)

 

I flipped the board upside down and whipped off this little portrait of Cassidy, allowing myself to be playful, using only the scraps and dabs of paint that were left on the palette. I don't know if that's a particularly good way to make color choices, but it worked for this one.
