This is a self-portrait done by an artist named Henry Miller. I was just searching the internet and came across this one. For some reason it stood out to me. It seemed to be alot different that the numerous other portraits i had seen. This just seems so loose and free flowing. There are no harsh edges or hard lines. Everything just feels relaxed. The color is placed in an arbitrary manner, same as the loose lines the color just makes the compostion feel light and airy. The technique used in this painting could say something about the artist, maybe he, like the painting, is very free flowing and laid back. That is the feeling i get out of this self portrait.
