self portrait

self portrtait-painting 1-oil
yeah- i know..doesn't look EXACTLY like me.

i decided to do my self portrait of me crying when i was in lowes foods one evening and saw a girl about my age who apparently had cancer because the poor thing did not have a hair on her hair. i circled an isle and when i came back around there was a puddle of vomit on the floor. i turned to see that the girls mother (who had to have been in her fifties) had picked her up and was carrying her out of lowes foods. this painting reflects the sorrow for the pain of the girl, and also the strength of her mother. hope you enjoy..
