Self Portrait in Progress

Trying to look away I guess- there is supposed to be a kind of tension pulling up from the corner that I haven't really achieved- as if pulling back into the painting- trying to figure out what ground would help with that effect, as well. Something that pops to the foreground, and leaves the forehead seemingly further into the picture plane. I am going back in with Sharpie once the paint dries, because I find that the graphic element helps me re-frame and re-position my next moves. I have thus far totally ignored the body position as well, and that could be a cool way to play with the depth- especially messing with the immediate foreground starting from the bottom right.
