Self-Portrait

For me, my self portrait represents a different side of me than I usually show in photos but I think it is more revealing about myself. I don't think of myself as someone who is always smiling; like everyone, i have bad days and I just show it more than others, which is seen in this portrait. What I like is that it leaves the viewer to decide what I'm feeling: hyper, angry, etc. Execution-wise, I am pretty happy with my very first acrylic painting! I am glad I tried something new and I can't believe I am saying this but I kind of enjoyed the experience. I also feel that I was successful in portraying my many emotions in one photo and I really, really like how the viewer has to decide on how I'm feeling.
