Edges painted as part of the scene, varnished strung and ready to hang.
Double self portrait with a twist, with me as a boy drawing me as I am now.

 The palette and brushes are arranged to depict a clock to suggest rolling back time and the sparrow and gulls remind us all how time flies.
In the boys sketch, me painting the gulls triggers a distant memory of my youth and love of birds and art which all end up as this painting.
