"Cauld Hands, Warm Heid": Self portrait in oil.
This is my submission for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters' new self portrait competition ("SELF"). The deadline for online submissions was Thursday, so this is what the judges will see, but I intend to make a few additional touches here and there (I want to punch the darks underneath the flappy-ear bits of my Davey Crocket hat, for example). The photos are not great, apologies for that. It's quite a small piece, 42 cm x 21 cm and is painted on plywood primed with acrylic "gesso". The surface was slightly textured, partly because I like to paint on surfaces which make it easy to get soft edges, and partly because sanding that stuff is like sanding rubber. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
