Self portrait with iphone

Self portrait with iPhone


Try as I might, I can't get a good photo of this recent self portrait! This is about the best I can manage! And here's a closer look...


I rather like it, the way that most of my face is in shadow, and I'm wearing my painty apron. Of course I look serious, it's a self portrait. It's concentration. It's what comes of staring at yourself in the mirror for a couple of hours. Remember this one I did a few weeks ago? I like that too. The pink ear especially with a bit of a glow about it. 


I'm almost ready for Manchester, I have a couple of hours in the morning to pack and get my last few jobs done. I'll try to blog when I'm away...

  1. I love it Haidee - great placement of the head to give you your full height, ahem...but why the iphone? Must have been tricky to paint with a brush in your right hand, then swapping for a phone - see me after school and I'll tell you how to make things easier...

    1. In reply to myself, it's a mirror image of course so your right hand is your left hand, durrrgh! Still no brush in the hand though...still see me after school.

  2. Well done, portrait artist! I do like the previous one best, but I think that's mostly because of the pose, the tilt of the chin and that look in your eye...

    Good luck in Manchester, I know you will wow them. I wish I could be in one of the sessions, I'm sure it will be fun for all. My thoughts will be with you.
