Description
Self Portrait. I have always disliked shaving. Luckily the industry I worked in allowed me to shave when ever I felt like it. So beards of many kinds grew on and came off in an endless progression. This last time I let my beard grow the longest ever. It looked very old fashioned to me, hence the “Nineteenth Century Me.” I thought why not do a pastel painting before I cut it off.

Thank you for your comment, vote and Favorite. Yes, hair, fine lines in general are tough with soft pastel. You got to keep rotating the stick. Again, thanks. Ben
