Accidental Self-Portrait

by Resa Haile 

My first painting and not meant to look like me,
but I was told it did by a couple of people--
hence, the title. I hope I don't often have such a severe aspect!
I reworked this painting so many times that it almost destroyed it.
I took some photos of previous incarnations, which may someday
make it to this space.
