Alejandro Cabeza




His painting career mainly supported the use of a technique Impressionist art, and perhaps because of this fact that the tables revolve around the landscape, the composition of figures and portraits, which has reached the appreciation of critics and audiences.
Alejandro Cabeza suddenly grown an impressionist painting that is totally different from the styles, fashions and what you get in the beginning of XXI century.

Sharin Barber


I painted this Self Portrait in oils on a 24" x 36" canvas, the orchid in
the painting has two flowers in every bloom, so being Bipolar and
always of two minds I took a photo sitting in front of my Mac
and just started to paint!

My work is born from a need to express myself through multifaceted means, the self portrait constitutes a sizable portion of my production.A painted portrait, is far more than a pictorial representation as with a photograph, self introspection is a fundamental process, It enables a realisation of 'self', within ones physical presence, and the wider world in which 'self' exists. Whenever someone paints themselves they are also painting all human kind.

Title: The Red Hat


29 x 39 cm



Acrylic on Canvas Paper


This painting was executed at the very end of December 2011. I did this to test out a combination of direct/indirect painting which I explain in some detail on my blog. I am currently journeying towards becoming a full time professional fine artist and teacher. I paint because I must. When I am painting my life makes more sense.

Title: Self Portrait 2012

11"x14" Acrylic on Canvas Panel

I painted this self portrait in 1 hour before I had to go to work. I was inspired by the words of an artist friend who once remarked on the lack of bright colors in most of my paintings.

 Acrylic on canvas (2 panels - 30x60 cms each)
 
I did this one in an hour, my mind torn into two extremes....it was done fast...in a frenzy.....I could never put them together aligned...proportionate....
I find it proportionate, unproportionate...
There's a battle we fight within us every day.....
Keep fighting...there will be peace someday.

Title: Self-portrait
6" x 6"
oil on archival panel


I did this painting a couple of months ago for a daily painting challenge. Aside from doing the plein air work I love, I joined the ranks of daily painters in 2009. I've found it to be immensely rewarding. Every day there's a fresh start and you can redeem yourself ; )

 "Self Portrait 2000" 
 80 x 100 cm  
oil on canvas



I am a photorealistic painter who is painting serial portraits in oil. I am interested in persons who are not famous or social privileged. I am most interested in misfits and underdogs or groups of people who are not popular. But my current portrait-project is about bloggers as the users of the web 2.0. So it´s called portraits_2null.

Amberina Razvi



The painting is titled 'Contemplation'.

The Gold and blue arabesques in the background symbolize my thoughts...blue, representing calmness, purity and positivity and gold, representing divinity, spirituality and mysticism...
I come from a mixed background.. Persian and Indian
I have always had a spiritual bent of  mind. I grew up reading Sufi poetry and religious/gnostic literature and classics from different cultures and traditions.

The painting is oil on canvas.

 This painting is 20 x 16-inches and is oil on canvas.  I titled it, "Thinking of Dad".  I just did this painting two days ago, in response to the death of my father.  He passed away on Feb. 27, 2011, at the age of 89.  I don't have a decent photo to do a proper memorial portrait of him, so this is something of a twist on that idea

Since his passing, it's not unusual during quiet moments of the day, to find myself drifting back to memories of him.  Four days ago, when snapping out of one of those moments, I decided to grab my camera and take my picture in the pose as best I could re-create it.

Mike Gravel

My name is Mike Gravel. I'm an artist from Newburyport, MA.
Here's a SP I've been working on for a couple of days.
Yesterday it was mostly reds and blues and I was unhappy with it. Last night, I dreamed of yellow. Now it's done.


This piece is an oil on canvas- 16" x 20". I guess I'll call it "Yellow Me".

I did this self-portrait when I wished to have a
cat because my flatmade left with hers. Two months
later a friend of mine gave me a cat, he had not seen
the drawing but it looked equal. So represent your
wishes. Maybe they come true :)

"Depressed" self-portrait 

Mixed media on watercolor paper - 8" x 10"

This self-portrait represents my lifelong struggle with depression.
The sadness. The pain. The hopelessness.

It just won't let me be and I fear it'll always be a part of my life.

I finally got around to doing two things I've always planned on.  First I wanted to do a painting in a day like so many of my blogging friends.  Second I wanted to paint a self portrait.  Today I finally managed it.

Solstice Headdress

12x12 acrylic


This is painting of myself wearing my solstice headdress. Occasionally, I wear it about town, much to the awe of my neighbors. I haven’t attempted many self-portraits but here I am wattles and all. I started painting full-time the last five years. I have waited my whole life to be able to do this and I am so happy.
