"The self portrait was the result of one of those occasions when you see a face in the mirror and suddenly realise it's your own! I felt very unwell with an approaching migraine and I thought the pain showed in my expression. With this portrait I think I finally accepted that migraines have and will probably always be a part of my life. As the pain subsides and I can get up and get on with my life, I try to embrace the fact that they force me to stop and appreciate the most important things in life - namely health and family."

I've always liked this portrait of you because it shows a side of you in a raw, emotional and painfulmoment. It's not a side many would bebrave enough to show. It has the element of truth that is always more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe portrait is beautifully drawn as well ;)
