I am in a much better place today. I was able to sleep in, Lucien decided to take a long nap and I think I finished the self-portrait that I have been working on for a few days now (in little 20 minute blocks of time). It is my first acrylic self-portrait. I really like having a painting project. I am also looking forward to beginning a life drawing class. That I hope will help me learn more about how to see the shadows.
So first I drew a pencil sketch of my face, then I transfered it over to the canvas. 
The next step was finding time to paint, I did that and my chin dimple looked like a life saver. I went to repair that lifesaver but my color was a little orange,
so then today I fixed the orange and lost some of the lighter colors, but gained some clothing.
I guess I could redo over and over but I am calling it done for now.
Yes, I like it, i like it!
