Self Portrait 01/10

I haven't been able to sit down and work today - just restless. I've done some sketching, then I started looking at pictures of my neice. She's the first girl in our family. Everyone says she looks just like me, so I decided to pull out some photos of me at five or six months old. I think I do see a resemblance. Then while I was doing that I ran across a studio portrait of my mother at six months old - the only baby picture we have of her. So I did a little layout of the three pictures together. I think we all look alike. Three generations of girls.

Self Portrait


This is my first attempt ever at a self portrait. Alex, my son
that is an art major, said it was good - so I feel very proud. He
told me I should use the whole page - I only used the top quarter of
an 8x10 page in my sketch book - it is so hard to try and use the
whole page! The image below is the picture I drew from. I don't
think I look like that anymore. The picture was taken when I was 26
and I'm turning 42 this month. When I get brave I'll photograph
myself and try again!
