2022 Self Portrait, acrylic painting full process

Once a year, I paint a self portrait -- this is mine for 2022. This year, I tried to reproduce my face from a photo, which definitely gives the painting a different feel than prior portraits. I'm very grateful for the artistic growth I've made in the last year. The pandemic and overall state of the world have completely upended my life as it was, but I am looking toward the future with fresh eyes. 💖 Acrylic paints, craft glitter and makeup (eyeshadow, highlight, blush from MPZ cosmetics) on stretched 12"×12" canvas, sealed in epoxy resin.
