Self Portrait In Progress (Yet another)

How do we multi-task in life? When it seems impossible, sometimes- juggling between completing my Master's degree(almost there, thank god!), preparing to be a new mom, and beginning rehearsals for my Opera debut in W.A. Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" in New York next year... And an invitation to perform in Scotland -- There's not even a second left to stop for a cup of decaf! :)
Now some art talk --
A self Portrait is about capturing a visual recording of one's momentary feeling. My portrait depicts the spatial relationship between a ordinary domestic setting and my own figure. The environment is distorted, as well as the perspective, creating a sense of surrealistic detachment to the reality to the scene. For this project, I am again using a "dead palette" (Blue Black + Flesh Ocher + Yellow Ocher ). These three colors are very important to me, as many Italian and Dutch old masters such as Rembrandt included these colors in their paintings.
