Getting out of a long rut

I did this little oil painting and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I’ve had a hard time getting into the right expression and have felt stuck. It’s not a self portrait, but I did use myself as a ref from a day/period in my life that was just horrible. It was cathartic to channel those emotions. What does it make you think or feel?

I’m just getting started, but if anyone wants to follow each other on ig, like for mutual support of future work, let me know :) I follow few other INFP’s from here which has been very inspiring
