Selfie Fine Art

What’s it like to get into the skin of a portrait painter artist ?
Using my self portrait photographs and digital manipulations I mesh myself into each portrait. I am astonished. I see their self vision through my visage. It feels like I’m an actor.
With simple lighting in my home studio, I took hundreds of selfies trying to match the poses, expressions, moods, and styles of each artist’s self-portrait. Using Photoshop and other digital tools, I melded photography and fine art into a mashup of both. It took me hundreds of digital attempts and countless false starts to get what I wanted. Can you guess which painter’s self-portrait was easiest for me to meld into my own
