A Work In Progress

This is the first painting I've done since moving to Philly almost 2 years ago.  Its 3' x 4', oil on canvas. It's a self portrait that discusses the constant battle between my current and former self. In this painting my head is a rotary phone. The picture reads as human, object, and character, pulling different characteristics from each group and combining in an intense way.

This is the sketch that the painting is based off of. It was taken from my sketch book and is very small in size so I had to use a projector to get it on the huge canvas.
