An Apple and an Ornament

I always try to avoid getting caught in the reflections in the subjects in my paintings, but sometimes I wind up painting a little self portrait hidden in the still life. I tried to capture the look of shock and awe in my features, of the dawning realization of the fleeting transience of life, possibly a rich and pensive look, complete with furrowed brow looking to the bleak future on the far horizon. I'm not sure if I captured any of that.
