Self portrait

So this weeks prompt in Play was
 

self portrait

I've never done a self portrait before. 

I think she turned out good -- but looks so much like my other girls...  

I painted her on the practice cloth paper I made out of old patterns glued to muslin. 
(Carla told me about that) 

Lots of texture...maybe a little too much?

See Carla's.




'happinessis a butterfly, which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you'
-- Nathaniel Hawthorne
