My goal in this self portrait was creating a subtle and calm look. I accomplished that by putting extra attention on the eye. My painting is about interesting mark making. The most difficult challenge I had to create was the fern plant. I meet that challenge by putting just the right amount of whiteness on the plant's shadows. My painting really works at the eye. Some things that I learned that I can bring into my next painting is size view placement. The mentor that helped me was Edward Hopper. He helped me realize the importance of light in certain places. Stephanie's drawing was really cool, because of the different pose that she did and she did a really good job on her lips. If I had a do over I would do the shape of my face a little better. What I feel best about my work is the marks that I did and the eye.
