I rarely paint faces - the most successful paintings I did are all faceless - but if I do it is usually a self-portrait. This is quite common for artists - study and draw themselves. At the end, we are our first models, always available.

This painting is called Protea - named after a flower my friend gave me as a birthday gift. I was so fascinated by that flower so I immediately painted it. It was back in 2017.
