Pam challenged me to do a faceless self portrait. Great challenge. Had lots of ideas, but not much time this week.

@adrienneb thanks for the challenge, made me think about different options, will definitely try more when time lets me.

Haast een echte Vermeer. Had zijn studie kunnen zijn. ( Als er toen foto`s waren)

Holding the letter seems to give this a sombre/ reflective mood - very nice :)

@kali66 ai, I've neglected selfies and Five Plus Two for so long, tagged it :-)

Net als @Pyrrhula dacht ik meteen aan 'Brief lezende vrouw' van Vermeer.

Love the Vermeer homage ( I am a big fan of 17th cent Dutch art)...fav
I don't thing the faceless selfie will catch on with the younger folk.. , have you seen those selfies young women favor where the stretch their face into a sort of scream pose?

[john morley]

meant to say love your sash windows...

[Sue]

Great interpretation of the challenge

[Susan]

Great composition. Very effective.

[KWind]

Pretty composition!

@pyrrhula @gijsje @jack4john unintentional, Vermeer's image must be deeply rooted in my subconscious :-) And John, no, never seen those scream like poses. On the other hand, the sash windows are great, aren't they?! Not ours though, if we ever leave the place, I'll miss them.
