Self portrait Painting

This was one of the first of my series of self portraits that brought on major criticism, to my knowledge Zinaida Serebriakova was one of the only artists to have ever painted their self as continually smiling, most self portraits are some what concentrated and focused in their expressions. This one was resolutely lambasted for being an angry, morose, depressed expression, I cannot say whether I painted it with any emotion in mind apart from the act of painting, I was absorbed within the process, but the back drop to my existence is a business within which I can never succeed, for my 'family' business is judged by people who have never done the job, will never accept my opinion about the status quo and all achievements are nullified by their constant knowledge that I am sitting on their investment. In my mind I am consistently achieving something superior to any of my predecessors, but the fact that that is lost on my family means I feel that I am constantly treading water.
