Description
I painted this self-portrait hoping to capture the focused concentration that goes into creating a painting. There is a moment when all of the countless hours of painting come together and the brush is just an extension of my hand. I pushed the "creative spark" metaphor for fun.

The FLOW of Inspired creativity...captured. MASTERFULLY BRILLIANT!...v...best to you!
Christopher Reid replied:
Thank you Laurel :) In a self portrait there is always a challenge to show yourself the way you actually see yourself and the way you think you look. Hopefully I got it right :)
Talya Johnson
Awesome lighting and colorful reflective lights! Saw this in a contest and had to come check out your world. L/f and followed.
Christopher Reid replied:
THank you Talya :) I was careful about how I set up the lighting for this effect and not to overdo it when painting.
Taphath Foose
Fantastic portrait, Christopher! I love the captured focus!
Christopher Reid replied:
Thank you Taphath :) I am very happy when I paint, but some people think 'focused' looks too serious. Hahahaha! :)
