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.

Very interesting self portraits. Looking at them, you wonder about the life they lived. Were they happy or sad as children? Were they loved?
