Self Portraits
I told Sharron I would share my self portraits, so here they are.
Licorice Girl: I once went to the docs because I was getting numb around the mouth. He couldn't find anything wrong, but for some odd reason as I left his office I mentioned I had been eating lots of licorice (strong british or australian brands that put hairs on yer chest). He asked "how much is lots?" When I told him he couldn't stop laughing. I hadn't eaten a dangerous level but it had had side effects obviously. He told the nurse not to file a bill and told me to stop eating so much licorice. I could still hear him laughing as I left the building. I LOVE licorice.
Catscratch: When I was a kid I hated getting my photo taken and always twisted my face for the camera, but I had one photo that I hadn't. I wanted to do a portrait for practice and decided to use that photo and dang it if it didn't turn out being twisted LOL! How Freudian is that.
Humerous: I did this about three years ago. It is oil on wood and after I painted it for some reason I wanted to sand it down. Well it ended up looking almost like a skeleton, so I decided to put it in the "bones and stones" show I was doing with my friend Jan.
