Self portrait, not much like me.

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.

Today's drawing is a self portrait.

Myself

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is myself. Last time I drew myself my husband said "Yeah, I knew her ten years ago." (I normally like that he's honest with me, but on this occasion, not feeling it!) I have tried to be more honest with myself (and you) about the shadows time has left around my eyes etc.

Myself in an arts and crafts style.

Today's is a self portrait in an arts and crafts or art nouveau style.

Thanks to Klimt for a lifetime of pleasure.

This style was much criticised in its day for being "pretty" but I'm a fabric designer, I already sold out long ago by those standards, I like a bit of pretty in my life, not all art has to be political.

Be like Picasso and do everything from political protest paintings to affordable fabrics!
