Here's my latest self-portrait. It's done from a small candle mirror I inserted into the landscape. In keeping with my latest self-portraits, it's as much an image of my reflection as it is of myself. Highlighting the perceptual here-and-now nature of working from life, the mirror serves to remind the viewer of the presence of the painter both behind the work and within the landscape. I'm excited about pursuing this idea further. I plan on spending the next semester working on larger scale self-portraits in the landscape, painting fewer works but pouring more time into each.
