Me
12 x 16
Oil on Raymar Panel
Often when I am overwhelmed and have too much to do I take a respite and do something I don't need to do...something that has nothing to do with the project at hand...something just for me. That is where I am right now. I decided to finish this self portrait. Really????...when I have so much to do...what am I thinking??? My reasoning is it gives me time to step back from my life and put things in perspective. My paintings for my upcoming featured artist show are all done..they are all ready...but I still have this sense of urgency to do something. I have been going full tilt for so long that I needed to keep busy. So here I am...
Now I am going to relax...wait for the paint to dry and get ready to hang the show.
Reception starts at 6pm on June 8th at the Workhouse Arts Center located in Lorton Virginia...
