self-portrait

The thought behind this piece, as the title reveals, is a self-portrait.  It's a mixed media painting, using acrylic paints, a broken mirror, sea glass, sand, painted rocks, and popsicle sticks, among other things.  I tried to get an accurate photo of the painting, but let's be honest, it's really better to see in person.  I don't have very much of an explanation for this piece (sorry!) -- someone asked me to do a self portrait and this is what I came up with.
