I know it's been a while since I've posted. I've been very busy in my studio creating.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend participating in one of Kerryanne's online courses.
After a lot of inspiration and confidence, I started this self portrait last night. Of course it's not finished. I think with something like a portrait, I'll be going back looking, and making changes for weeks to come!
Ah, now that I've posted it, I can see there are changes to be made.
These jeans were kindly donated by my nephew AJ, (Thanks AJ) that I've turned into a bag. I added some simple embellishments.
Happy creating,
Hugs*Anna

I used to do portraits for a long time; and I know that feeling of looking at it once and thinking it was done, then turning back and thinking it wasn't! They are a challenge, but very satisfying when done!
have not done one in years.....probably should try it again *in my spare time*....LOL!!
Good work!
XXOO!!

Hey Anna! Love your self-portrait! I don't think you need to fix as much as you think you do! :0) The jeans bag is great too ... I made one earlier in the year after having it on my "To Do" list for years - fun and very economical! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS

Hi Anna,
thanks for stopping by and for your input re the text size. I found out about a solution - a program called Live Writer, that gives lots more flexibility :)
Hi Anna~ your self-portrait is wonderful! Good for you! I love trying new things, but I've yet to do a self-portrait! That jean purse is adorable....looks like you have been really busy in your studio!
Thanks for the recommendations about the oil paints...I'm going to try those!
