Have been busy painting up a storm!!!! Not really a storm - just feels like it. I had a pile of paintings that just didn't quite do what I wanted them to do. 10 in fact. So last month I spent re-painting the 10 paintings. LOVE them now.
My 60th birthday was this past June. Just had to do a self-portrait. Hadn't done one since I was 49 so I thought it was time. I was more fun to paint with all my sags and wrinkles. More stories in my face now and not so self-conscious. Painting a self portrait as a 20 year old was horrific!
Kath this is truly beautiful!

ReplyDeleteDear Bonnie:
ReplyDeleteThank-you for visiting. You don't have to put in all the sags! :) That's the great part about being a painter.
Dear Admin:
ReplyDeleteThank-you!
Thanks for sharing...I'm sure you are too busy to check this often, just want to tell you that you deserve the success!
ReplyDeleteI was into drawing portraits and got away from it, sometimes I think about starting it back up, hope if I do I can be as successful!
Absolutely beautiful paintings! (check out G+ if you haven't already...great exposure for artists!)
Thank-you for visiting, Debbie. I keep going back to portraits - maybe because they drive me crazy!! :) Hope you get back into it. And thank-you for the tip.
