Challenges..........challenges! This painting began as a challenge activity between my studio mates at Western Avenue in Studio 326. We were all to create a self portrait in the medium of our choice. Some did sketches in pencil or pen, some in water colors, and some of us in oils. Portrait painting is a difficult task and one that I learned a great deal from. Most artists at some time or other in their career attempt a self portrait. I was reluctant to post this at the risk of readers thinking that I am vain, however, I was encouraged by friends to do so. I do think that the painting looks somewhat like me and is a fair for a first attempt at figurative painting. Looking at it makes me want to turn back the hands of time.......but what is, is! With this post I have caught up with my posts after a long hiatus from this blog. It does show that I have been working in the studio painting even though I was not blogging. I really enjoy sharing a studio with other painters for the comraderie, constructive criticism, and fun afforded by activities such as this one.
