"Me"

Last night, I found this drawing I did just before I moved to Santa Fe, on May, 2012. I was not quite happy with the piece, then. But I am looking at it now, not bad and happy that I am looking lot younger, even only 2 yrs passed by.

 I am taking E course, "Draw and paint what you Love - Spring 2014".
 Last week was Week 1: Mark Making. I did my self portrait for the Mark-making practice. I found it lot easier to approach the painting by thinking "I am JUST making various marks". It frees me and more fun.
