portrait of an elderly woman by summerfield

portrait of an elderly woman

i intended to go for another low-key still life but i should like to save my props for another day. also, i'm not feeling artistic and i couldn't think of any clever way to pose my meager props. but after i took a shower and dried my hair, i thought it looks decent enough for a self-portrait if i could think of a reasonable excuse to take one other than a low key shot. then i remembered there is that on-going portraits of me and i promised sheralee that i will play some weeks whenever i can. so here we go

for the flash of red february. also for the 52 portraits of me 2018 the theme this week being "monochrome".

you must pardon me if i haven't made it to your albums. i'm typing using the rubber end of a pencil as my fingers are rather sore from getting burned the other day. i might have a hard time doing work tomorrow at the office.

A wonderful portrait, fav!

elderly pffttt!
February 5th, 2018  
Ironic title, I assume?
February 5th, 2018  
So elegant and thoughtful...very beautiful!
February 5th, 2018  
Fabulous!

You're not elderly!! Such a pretty portrait! Fabulous lighting.

Elderly? You'd have to be joking. Very glam. So sorry to hear about your fingers. Ouch.

Beautiful pic!

If you're elderly I am definitely geriatric! Lovely portrait and lighting :)

Looking very sophisticated and not in the least bit elderly. It is lovely to see a prop free portrait of the beautiful you. And, if I ever reach this standard of portraiture, then I would have achieved my dreams and beyond.

Ditto, can't think of an original compliment old gal!
February 5th, 2018  
You are far from elderly! This is a beautiful low key selfie!
February 5th, 2018  
Beautiful!

I much admire your self portraits.
February 5th, 2018  
I admire these self portraits as well, along with many of your other images...ok question. how do you get such good focus & catchlight in your eyes when doing a self-portrait? I am stymied!

You are one good looking woman and I don't agree with the "elderly" part of your title. Great shot Ms.V. :)

Gorgeous lighting and composition especially for a selfie. You are a master at this!
February 6th, 2018  
No, I would say a poised and sophisticated woman. There's no evidence of your age except that you're not a teenybopper. The lighting is perfect. Well done!

Oh goodness- if you're elderly then life if over at 60! This is beautiful.
February 6th, 2018  
Excuse me? Elderly? I don't think so.....because that means I'm elderly! Say it ain't so!
February 6th, 2018  
Elderly can be beautiful... fav!
February 6th, 2018  
Very elegant

Such a beautiful self portrait (will not call it the more casual selfie because this is far too professional!)
I read your set up for this - really well done and there are a ton of tips I took from that informative post.
This is a FAV!

Yeah, I share in the scoffing at "elderly"! A beautiful, thoughtful and wise woman, perhaps? Lovely light and pose!

No way you would be considered elderly. Lovely light on your beautiful face. And your hair looks great. You are a beautiful lady.
