My painting challenge this month was self portrait- I procrastinated a long time but managed to get myself in front of a mirror..( eesh)(above) self portrait done when I was 19 in art school in my Van Gogh phase
( we share the same birthday)
20"x24" acrylic on paper
self portrait done this morning
4"x4 acrylic on panel
I am proud to be older-
rounder? not so proud, ( this is a tiny panel- cropped out the double chin!)
but hey- I'm accepting....I'm still here!

wondering if you had been reading a book on Van Gogh before your 20 year old self portrait?
LOVE the new one!
Hi Sally . . . well, I see the influence of VanGogh in your first portrait; but I can't see the second portrait at all. ??? I enjoyed meeting you Saturday and sharing So. Shore connections. I really like your blog, and will add your link to mine.
thanks Paula- i was heavily can gogh-ee then... and linda- it was great meeting you too Linda and I will link you likewise!
I am still avoiding the self portrait :( Why? I dunno
Umm, you're cuter than either of these show ;)
