Self portrait. by maggie2

Self portrait.

I had to paint a self portrait for a paint group I am in and this is it. A little scary. I look much better after my coffee.
Very Artistic I Like The Colors

@phxjanice Janice, I was completely miserable the night I painted this, and it sure did show. I assure you I don't always look this bad, or have purple hair.

@gavincci Thanks Jaydee. This was not one of my favorites. But it sure did show my mood. :-)

If this is a self portrait of you -- please remind me NOT to get on the wrong side of you......lol....

@junebug Bonnie, I really was having a rotten day, and this is how I felt. Scary isn't it. LOL. Most days I look a bit better.
October 16th, 2010  
just love it... I keep saying to myself that i will take painting classes... not sure that i am good at it.. then at the end, i am thinking who cares... it is all about me! how i feel! ooops! well! that is all i feel at my age!
October 18th, 2010  
@ginbelle Ginettte, to me painting is about enjoying myself. I don't care how it looks. I only care about how much I enjoy painting. If I get better along the way...that's great.
Go for it. Take a class or just buy paint and a brush and teach yourself. I took very few classes.
October 18th, 2010  
I lkie this one. Eyecatching
October 18th, 2010  
Haha! Coffee fixes everything!

Nice work on the painting - love the hair :)

@erlend Thank you Erlend for the kind words. This isn't my favorite and it took some nerve to post it.
@koshi I'm not sure why, but I have painted three self portraits, and they all have purple, blue, red wild strange hair. I'm a strawberry blond in real life but never liked the color. In a painting, I can color it whatever I want.

Water color? Really beautiful work! I have never done a self portrait!

@hillcrest Cheryl, I'm a little slow to answer. No this is not watercolor. It's acrylic, watered down. Not my best work. :-)

Oh, this is FABulous!! It makes me think of Titania from a Midsummer Night's Dream :-)
