I think you've done a great job on your self-portrait, although I think you are certainly your own worst critic. I didn't actually see my dad in the painting, but when I showed Wes, he said Bruce was all he could see...take care, CaraBarb J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11147759657720480174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38449200.post-76719717660147330582008-03-01T11:02:00.000-05:002008-03-01T11:02:00.000-05:00Yay for doing a self portrait!

By the way, I think you've done a lovely job.Helen Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744993088363570713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38449200.post-45699474450072120052008-03-01T00:34:00.000-05:002008-03-01T00:34:00.000-05:00When I first saw this painting, I thought to mysel...When I first saw this painting, I thought to myself: "What an interesting face!" I had no idea that it was the artist's self-portrait. What attracted me were the woman's eyes that seemed to have seen so much because she had gone through so much. <BR/><BR/>Now that I know that the painting is a self-portrait, I can empathize, as well as sympathize, with her. None of us who are older are anything like what we were in our younger days. However, in exchange for beauty, we gain such things as wisdom, abilities, the knowledge that we can handle life, etc. I think that the artist has a wonderful face and that she should be proud of it!blhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520705849685484773noreply@blogger.com
