I laughed out loud at Otto checking on you.

Hot weather Studio Fashion, cutoff jeans, tank top, and apron worn with a necklace..

I like your portrait, I think I might try one again..

Thanks Elaine. I think it captures some of me. I was kind of pleased for a first go. I need eyelashes. I've done one more, which I like though it's a bit awkward as well. I'm self-conscious about posting them.

Elaine Mari said...

Self portraits are like that, make you feel, self-conscious, lacking eyelashes. Oh well.

I like awkward.

I think posting work is a good way to work through things faster. For some reason I can see things better once I know someone else is looking at it too.

Onward!

"Onward!"

Nice.

This has a naive power. Like "how do I make paint make a head?!?" The struggle.

What is missing formally is made up for in intensity and honest emotion and nakedness. And color.

Oh, and probably scale.

It's over.

Nov 7, 2020. Tears of joy and relief. It's been unreal and I'm ready to get back to a sense of normalcy. The desert has been tough.
