I finished my self-portrait... I will have a better quality image soon.
I had much fun layering colours and used a small plastic bottle with a 0.7 mm tip to do the "squiggles", I enjoyed the looseness of that.
Half my face is in shadow, most appropriate at this time in my life. And the colour, well, it speaks for itself.
I also used a quote from Shakespeare:
"Their life, exempt from public haunts,
Find tongues in trees, books in running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything."
That's how I feel in the middle of the forest... I then played around with the order of the words, with texture/collage... a fun project to get me in the right head space for the new body of work percolating in my mind.
