EXPLANATION OF THIS SELF PORTRAIT:
there are times, when i am in between art pieces, that i walk around my house and art studio and look at my work and think (of a particular piece or 2 or 3....) "that is good!". and then i start to feel that i will never be able to do anything again that "good" (as i view my art). i start to feel that "i have said, in my art, everything there is to be said. i have nothing further to say/do". i start to feel "who am i kidding. me an artist. there are so many amazing artists out there in the world".
in other words, i am assailed by the "demons" of "doubt"!. and these "demons" do get me down. sometimes it is hard for me to start working, and once i do, i do not like what i am producing (although that often changes when i am finished and view the piece).
this self portrait is me....the demons have "gotten to me". i "doubt" myself as an artist (not all the time does this happen, but...).
so i decided to exorcise the demons by "getting them out" (in this painting).
