Pretty

30 in x 40 in oil on canvas

professionally framed in black textured wood

"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not your boyfriend/spouse, partner, not your coworkers, especially not random men on the street. You don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'." ~ Diana Vreeland.

Self portrait painted from life, this is an absolute power moment and immediate response to the amazing quote emblazoned across it. It had been shared to me by a good friend who I have always found to be free spirited and independent.

Theses self portraits are  painted from life. Sometimes that also means from  memory, from dreams, or from feelings too. I start with the face, when either the light or my hair seem particularly interesting that day.  Then the story begins to unfold and I will add elements from life, or from my mind. The more I paint this face, the more this has become a kind of diary of technique, mood, and empowerment. No where else can I move through life the way I can when I am painting.  But I wish I could.
