THREAD FIVE FOR MAKING ART-SELF PORTRAITS

      

Acrylic, 2007-Rivian

Many times we just do not know what to draw or paint.  This has been the way of artists for a long time.  That is why so many of the masters did SELF PORTRAITS.  So, if you are stuck on what to do next, just do a SELF PORTRAIT.  Following are a few examples of some of my work.  I will be posting many SELF PORTRAITS by the masters in the next posts.

AFRICA and BEYOND-ART GALLERY

For me, AFRICAN ART is at the top of my list! AFRICA and BEYOND is the best ART GALLERY in San Diego, (including La Jolla), as far as I am concerned! The GALLERY has been in La Jolla for 21 years, and offers the finest collection of traditional, and contemporary African Art. You can find everything from contemporary crafts purchased from fair trade  co-operatives, to exquisite and rare ceremonial objects. At Africa and Beyond™ "...explore the many faces of African art, from contemporary Shona stone sculptures to traditional artifacts, creating a link between the modern world and the ancient past." Below are a few examples of their beautiful ART. See their web site, or even better yet visit the GALLERY when in LA Jolla, CA.  1250 Prospect St. www.africaandbeyond.com
