Self Portraits

“What better model to study than oneself, always available for as long as needed.”

Richard Gins

In Fine Arts, the making of a self portrait is a time honored tradition. What better model to study than oneself, always available for as long as needed. I have made many self portraits over 50 years in many different media and I continue this line of exploration. And what a great visual diary of my changes.
