Self portrait

At one time my medium was watercolor.

This is a self portrait using only black paint.

I love high contrast. Extremes, opposites.

I'm all in for the high level of passion and fire.

I have spent years learning to discern how far from the edge I can get and still maintain a level of "safety" with full expression.

Can you relate?

How do you define this line?

A beautiful painting. I find it raw, edgy, and maybe a little scary

Thank you, it's interesting to hear your interpretation. I think you nailed it, the time in my life when I painted it was all of those things. Vera
