Description
This is actually #16 in the Insecurity series, but it has a lot deeper meaning (or, at least, a double meaning) than the others do.When you laugh, and I mean really, truly LAUGH, you show all your teeth back to your molars. It's a true expression of wholehearted happiness, one that takes a lot of skill to fake, and is a dead giveaway to someone who is faking.
I can honestly say it's been years since I've even chuckled-out-loud without having it be forced just a bit.
Self-portrait, charcoal and charcoal pencils, 30x36" (approx.)

What an interesting drawing this is! I mean, the shading is brilliant, but what I really like about it is the meaning. It's so very true!
