I began this piece after going to a Van Gogh Exhibit in Pittsburgh. I discovered how Van Gogh expressed himself in his art and was inspired to paint for something more than a commission. This piece holds a special place in my heart because it was my first full painting of a face. To me, it depicts looking to the future, even when it is bleak or unknown. I used a photograph I took of myself as a reference.
