The Afternoon Sun. Self-Portrait By Monica Batiste
Dimensions: 40x50 cm
Medium: Oil paint

The afternoon sun came in to my studio, and I wanted to capture the highlights as it mapped my skin.

I had a painting of a nude that I wanted to paint over, so I turned it upside down and created this painting.

I have left the remnants of the previous painting to create an abstract background.

The Afternoon Sun is one of a series of paintings of self-portraits in differing moods and reflections.
