The following image is about the same size as the one above, another self-portrait that carries the same nagging feeling about going back into it:
The media is oil on linen with gold, silver, aluminum and combination leaf. These back-lit self portraits carry a retinal memory of The Revenant painting and drawings by Andrew Wyeth. I saw the work in one of the comprehensive catalogues of his work and have never been able to rid myself of his shadow when doing self portraits.

Wow! Debbie this site is so much fun!
I'm very flattered that you included my doll head with the notebook spiral topping..I'll be visiting it again soon, but for the time being I'm so inspired by all your projects, I'm motivated to go get busy myself.
Thanks for the inspiration...cc
