Me Again
10x10
Oil
Me Three
20x20
Acrylics

This was one of five prizewinners on BBC The One Show Summer Exhibition.
My overwhelming passion is painting portraits and people because they are so diverse and endlessly fascinating. This self portrait was inspired by numerous double and triple aspect portraits through the ages, all of which I love. The composition came straight from 'The Three Graces' sculpture by Antonio Canova.

    I really like the composition you've created using three selves. Very effective!

    Sharon,
    I like the "you again". Perfect portrait.

    Both are so good, but I too was especially struck by the me again painting - the color, the loose brush strokes, and the expression. Just beautiful!
