Self-portrait #1 - man with no eyes
Self-portrait #1 - man with no eyes

after my wife died in 2004, I felt so uninspired to paint and had lost my passion. Stuart Burton, my mentor at the Art Academy of San Diego told me to bring  a mirror to class and to do a self-portrait. It took me a month but finally I did this first portrait.
