When I paint, and I'm happy with what I did – I like to post my work on my blogs, including this one. Web Analytics and Art have become parts of the same thing, for me, a way of synthizing information.

 Standing Self Portrait – Marshall Sponder – 2008 – 18" x 36" Oil Pastel on Canvas Paper

I spent about 5 or 6 hours working on this latest portrait – and wrote about it over at ArtNewYorkCity in a post titled Last few days and Standing Self Portrait.

Oh, by the way, the painting I was thinking about when I started my Standing Self Portrait was Nicolas Poussin's famous Self Portrait which I saw at the Metropolitan las night (it's on loan from The Lourve till mid May).
