Self-Portrait (Part Three)

My palette afterwards.
I selected bright, vibrant and saturated colors - very unrealistic skin tones.
Palette and palette knives.
 Francoise Nielly works almost exclusively with palette knives.  I wish I had a better range of tools, but it was fun to use these ones anyhow.
First attempt.
 This first attempt is somewhat successful.  Some areas became muddy, and I wasn't totally consistent with the warm/light and cool/shade choices.  I began to really play up the eyes.
Trying to resolve the neck/chest area.
 I chose a very light grey background to keep things very neutral and simple.  The chest becomes more and more abstract.
