my favorite self portrait of the season
looks back at you eye-to-eye
confident and unapologetic
something about it – so open and joyful.

Bold and in the style of the great expressionist painters. Keep an eye on this one!

My, so lovely, I remember my kids drawing themselves. So sweet what they noticed about them as special to “mention” in the drawing.

It would be so fascinating to see how this one’s self portrait changes from year to year. Right now, there’s no body at all, just a head, a bunch of fingers, with legs and feet, which makes perfect sense.

I try to avoid any selfies, self-portraits or anything in that direction. Looking at myself in the mirror is more than enough to bear with! 😉
