Oil on wood, ready to hang.

This a self portrait I did at a time when I was feeling quite overwhelmed and stretched. It is hard to balance family, work, your own needs and the needs of everyone else in our modern world. I have often used themes of 'balancing' or 'juggling' with previous self portraits, in a fun manner. This self portrait is darker. Since COVID there has been extra stress on everyone, and the turmoil is heavy. This is a visual representation of how I felt at this time.... tied up and drowning.
