I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!

can't believe ya never heard of bowie!either that or your very young'

"LOL"!! Nope....I'm not very young....just the opposite!! Well of course I've heard of Bowie.....I love all the old "classic rock". I'm just not too familiar with his music. I've seen music videos on tv of him. I do remember he sang a song that I thought was pretty....I can't remember the name of it. I was more into groups like "The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Credence Clearwater, Rod Stewart, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. I guess I just wasn't as interested in his style of music.....but I know that he was very talented. Your draws of him are really awesome! :)

oop's you like some great bands there firecracker'think i'll try one of jagger next'got an interesting enough face as old mick'lol

The old turd.

You sure are proud of this Piece aren't ya?

I have to say it is very realistic.

I wish you could zoom out to 75%, then it would be to scale.
