The Portrait Party

selfportrait
I felt duty bound to produce a more up-to the minute portrait after Rama Hughes used a portrait I’d drawn from a thirty year old photo of me. Of course the reality of the fifty year old woman looking back at me in the mirror is very difficult to reconcile with the mental image I have of me being about twenty-seven. So the results are confused to say the least. If you’re interested in tackling these conundrums yourself Rama is holding a month-long self-portrait party here, and everyone is welcome.

Very nice drawing and a nice woman too! I look thirty if you take off spectacles perhaps... and in the dark with the light behind ya!
