It is titled "Hollow" because that's how I felt at the time - completely void of emotion. It was also one of the winners of the Dangenart Gallery "Peek Through" juried competition in Nashville, TN.

The eyes tell the story, yet they are beautiful! Love the texture from the bricks, and the off centered pose, with the hands near the face. The highlights on the hair and the technique adds alot of drama to this portrait....LOVE IT! Great job on this self portrait!! WAY TO GO! #481234
