New Expressionist Self-Portrait

This is my self portrait in progress.

Folks, this is a self-portrait I have been working on.  My friend says it reminds him of the work of Egon Schiele. I have been laboring over the flesh tones, as I have had very limited instruction in that area. I feel good that it comes across as expressive. I’m not sure what emotion it communicates. Do you have any ideas? Can anyone guess what I used as a canvas?

I’ve been spending my night posting on Facebook about the BP oil spill. I am beyond devastated and disgusted about it. I feel helpless. I hate saying that, but it’s how I feel. Here is a link to a video of Representative Scalise, from Louisiana questioning Tony Hayward of BP about BP and the federal government’s role in blocking efforts to mitigate the effects of the oil spill on the gulf coast. http://www.cspanarchives.org/program/ID/226495&start=5499&end=5910

If nothing else, I want to get the word out about what is happening to the people of the gulf coast and how the federal government and BP continue to thwart attempts to establish some type of order and move forward. Okay, it’s way past my bedtime.
