Beyond being a self-portrait, this painting is almost symbolic of all of our vanities and illusions since death is our shared future.Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2476679409746210707.post-54252750114059726092009-05-28T09:15:00.989-04:002009-05-28T09:15:00.989-04:00Thanks, all, for your generous comments.

However, I agree that every painting - no matter what the subject - is a self-portrait; at least, psychologically. Deb, thanks for this blog! I'm fascinated by the work you've posted and the comments.

I can't imagine a more fitting vehicle for examining one's mortality. Much of the art I create explores this very issue but in a more veiled way. I read a quote somewhere that artists repaint themselves over and over not matter what they create. Everything is a self portrait - now there's an idea. <br /><br />I recently found this blog and it's intriguing to see how artists represent themselves but it also provides a fantastic way to find new artists to explore.
