First finished self portrait for SP project

I have been through some hard times the past couple of years & I finally feel content enough to paint again. After nearly 4 years.

I have never loved myself very much, but I am starting to love myself again.
This project is a self love journey as well as improving my art.

I couldn’t see the beauty in all the things I once hated about myself, but I am learning to love my flaws now and hope to capture them in a way others can appreciate too.

Hope you enjoy my work :) as much as I enjoy creating them!
