“Yesterday in class, today on the canvas.”

Finished today: this expressive portrait started as a study for my portrait class yesterday. I pushed colour and edge to amp up the emotion. What mood does this gaze spark for you? ”

Well this was my portrait submitted for the Archibald Prize this year.
Unfortunately, I wasnt selected as a finalist, but at least I gave it a good shot.
There were over 1000 entries this year, with only 57 chosen as finalists. So its a bit of a hard call to be chosen.
Maybe next year!
