I hope you don't get offended but I am guessing from the title that this is a self-portrait. I wanted to tell you that one of my favorite artists of all time is Rembrant and it's because of his self portraits. I think it's a priceless treasure to be able to see artwork that records the life of the artist - especially for future generations. Also - it goes without saying that you are very courageous to place yourself as the subject (if indeed this is you depicted) because art is to be viewed by others - and everyone, upon viewing, casts a judgment about the art. So it's very intimate to put yourself in the spot light to be "judged" by others, so to speak. I think the contemporary phrase that i'm looking for is "You go girl!" - Jared
