 No oil painting, but a lot quicker!
Although I have done a few horse portraits in oils, I've never done a self portrait and am not likely to.
My 'canvas' was a sheet of reflective gold card. I decided to have the reflected camera included and to keep the thumb in to give context.

Brilliantly done Marion was going to comment on this one, I did think you used a filter, so you fooled me :)

I thought it was some sort of process, but of course that wouldn't work with the thumb/finger.

This is lovely and it certainly represents you and shows off a part of who you are. As a photo, I feel it is too much a picture of a picture.
