A Self Portrait From Sometime Ago

This is pretty self explanatory. It took me a lot of time to finish this portrait. I was 24 or 25 years old probably. My teacher at the time was Carmet Letts, another Peruvian artist. What you see at my back is an sculpture on wood done by her. The self portrait was painted in her house, so the green background is actually her garden seen through the window. I think the work in the face is pretty good, although there is light or color in the right cheek that needs to be colder, and creates more contrast. It also resemble certain feature of the Lucien Freud style. The shirt is kind of messy, and requires more work though.
I really loved that t-shirt.
