After seeing Carol Marine's funny, terrific self-portrait for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, I decided to try it myself. I was doing a bit of a silly half-smile/smirk but man...it's tougher than it looks! I had a mirror propped up on my easel - next time I may try taking a picture of myself and going that route. But it was a great challenge! Portraits are exciting - you never know which way they're going to take you.

Awesome, Kim! Your skin tones are really good- and I think we all know how difficult a self portrait is!
Kim...how challenging for you to do a self portrait ...and then from life. Good for you. Love your brushstrokes.
Great job Kim. Really spontaneous!
Great, fresh self portrait Kim!
I love the eyes in this. I am hoping to try this one later this week! Beautiful!
I am going to use a word to describe your painting that I don't throw around lightly, this painting is, in a word, AWESOMESAUCE!
Truly fantastic Kim! Your skills know no bounds, each painting you post amazes me even more than the last. :) :):)
You have a nice expression! Arianna
Love everything about this painting.
Well done! I like how it is fresh- no areas are belaboured and I like the composition; the negative spaces are very interesting.
Fantastic!
One of my favorites! Like your choice of color and the free look of it.
