Self, Undecided?

This self portrait is a contemplative portrait of the self looking at her inner world, two alternate versions of herself. Through the bathroom mirror, she is obfuscated by the light streaming in from a window, caught in a frozen moment of indecision. The painting utilizes realism and abstraction with passages of loosely applied merging into the figure.
