Self Portrait - Dan Beck - digital painting 2007

I was asked to do my self portrait. An artist friend of mine was interested in seeing how I would deal with the face I think. Seeing all the color in my work made him wonder - since (I am guessing) most of his current work is about portraiture.

So there I am - with the obligatory somewhat troubled artistic look - not that I am happy all the time - but probably more than appears here.

But then again, I think this is accurate to how I view myself when I am alone - there is intensity and desire for something better - but there is also a slight smile.
