Tarkkailija / Observer Painting

Finnish title: Tarkkailija English title: Observer Acrylic painting on frame's backing board (it's some kind of hardboard, it was very textured but I made it somewhat smoother with gesso). Matte varnish. Framed. Dimension with frame: 46 x 63,5 cm (x2 thickness) I got this idea by looking through all my random photos and selecting one of an interesting shadow across my face from a doorway and one of my hands on a fence like this. It's not supposed to be a self portrait though. I made those references into a totally different thing (the fence picture was very silly originally but the hands in a different context turned quite spooky) I seem to be painting a lot of hands lately. It's always very satisfying to realize hands are not my Achilles' heel after all. The interpretation for this image is up to you. It does have a pretty intense stare on my wall. I didn't specifically decide on what her intentions are. She's a bit of a mystery to me too.
