Eyebags
20 May 2025
Acrylic on hardboard
36 x 24 in (91.4 x 60.9 cm)


This was fun to do. It's a self-portrait which is supposed to emphasize the bags I typically have under my eyes. It is also intended for a call for art titled, "Self Starter". The only stipulation was you had to start with selfie. I plan to submit it with Tight Spot and Toothbrushing. I took a some artistic interpretation and liberty for certain. Eyes are green, hair is brown and eyes are baggy, but the nose turned into more of a exaggeration than reality. I liked it because it's not much of a realism approach anyway.

A few of the stages. I laid out the image with dried glue lines and tape.

Eyebags in a wonderful frame that held a mirror.
