Six at Sixty - Number Three


6 @ 60 #3
4 x 4 oil on board

I continue celebrating the completion of my 6th decade of life with the third in my series of six self portraits...6 @ 60.  I am posting a self portrait every few days...posting the sixth one on my birthday.  What I realize now is that if I had started this telling my husband I should get a present every time I post one of these it would have made the celebration even better.  Ah, wisdom...I am almost 60...where are you???

  2. Beautiful! And even though it's number 3, he could do 4-6 and give you TWO presents since he has to catch up! It's not too late!

  5. Ths is such a good idea. I feel like I know you better with each portrait. You are painting from the heart (and a few years of experience).
