Visual Description of Artwork

An almost life-size self-portrait in acrylic. The canvas is six feet high by two feet wide. I am in my early 60s, tall, skinny, and smiling. I’m a balding white man, with short silver hair and a mustache. I’m standing and wearing only a pair of dark blue jeans and glasses. My face, torso, and bare feet are painted with light tan and pale pinkish flesh tones. My shirtless chest reveals five prominent ribs, a three-fingered short right arm, and two small fingers that extend down from my left shoulder. The room is dark except for the light focused on my body and the warmth of the wood floor. I am at ease, while also looking back at the viewer.
