This painting is of a selfie taken by a friend while he was away on holiday. He had let his hair grow long and his face grow scruffy, and his wind-swept hair was the inspiration for the spiral color-play in the background. I painted this portrait as an entry for an online art contest, but it was never submitted. It’s almost an ad for a well-known brand of sunglasses!
