Oil paint on canvas

76 x 51 cm

My artwork is a portrait of me holding my hands to my face. I wanted to capture the emotion or mood of someone who is thinking. I’d like people to look at my work and wonder what I’m thinking. Am I worrying about something or am I contemplating? I used a ‘blocky’ or ‘patchy’ expressive style, especially in the face and background, and I painted the background grey to match the overall tone of the work.
