dialogue with myself

Finding what I wanted to paint took a long time, but I decided to display my two biggest characteristics and how opposite they are. My athleticism and artistic qualities are important to me, and I wanted to show these in my painting. I'm working with oil paint, which is favorite medium because of the slick texture of the paint. Sometimes this painting has been frustrating because I have to wait for it to dry to fix it. I think it will come out nicely when it's finished.
