This is a painting I did as the final project in a figure drawing class. it is acrylic on two joined 24" x 36"canvases to make it 48" wide by 36" tall. This was the first time I had worked in acrylic after two classes in oils and I struggled with the drying times and the tactile differences of the brush on canvas. The project was to be a self portrait and I used myself for all three figures.

I really enjoyed the explaination of this painting. I get what is happening and love the self analysis it brings to the table. I think from knowing how difficult this painting was for you to work on, you did a great job compensating for all of the difficulties you faced. Working in the paint medium is hard. There is a lot of nice color blending, shading. I don't want to criticize something that I like, but if I had any complaints it would be the perspectives of each of the "yous". The guy keeping time with the yellow shirt and hat is really good until you see his hand holding the watch. I wish you could see more of the betting guys face, but I suppose that gives the painting some tension. Overall, I do enjoy this one.
