It's me! I took a selfie using a warm lamp on one side and ambient cool light on the other. It makes an interesting color pattern. Putting in the initial color spots seemed like the painting was going to come out with crazy colors, but I think they made sense all together.
I took a dozen or so selfies for this painting session, picking the most flattering photo of myself, even though I have stringy morning hair. I don't generally like photos of myself, but I will probably do this again during this 100-portrait challenge. In the painting, I like how my face almost fades into the background, while my glasses are dark and crisp. This is 6x6" oil paint on canvas panel.
