This is a copy of a Percy Leason self portrait -- from the collection of the Castlemaine Art Museum -- that I painted as a class exercise. It was cut into eight sections, with students given the task of painting one section each, upside down, in an effort to disguise the final picture. At the end of class, each section was brought together to form the whole.
You could say this gave the picture a new Leason life.
Oil on canvas board, 16" x 20"
