SELF PORTRAIT

The first painting I painted after the fire. My face was illuminated by candlelight (firelight) showing how I felt as a 19 year old, after having spent months in hospital recovering from my burns, and losing everything I had. The bust is supported by the back view of the skeleton of a foot in a hole (I must have felt insecure.) The SELF PORTRAIT was on the cover of the Young Contemporaries Touring Exhibition.
