Self Portrait Tuesday #4


I am running. Feet peddling mid air....
So an old Self Portrait. When I was around 17-18 years old.
In a Modigliani style.
She is half of what I am today.
How things change and stay the same both at once.

Wow, Alix!!! What a painter you are. And you were just 17-18??? So mature! Great colors, strokes, expression, everything!

Olga said...

You said you changed career when you moved. What do you do for living? And what did you do before?

Vera said...

Stricking self portrait ! did you stop painting ?

Alix said...

Yes I stopped painting, but would like to start again. The why questions, and what I did before and what I do now are more difficult to answer! When I lived in Portugal I formed a theatre group where I was... acting/violining/making posters/accounts. Now I dread the question "what do you do?". This is part of my lostness!
Anyway thanks for the postivie feedback*

Aha... you are a violine-player too? I understand you´re feeling lost right now. You´re so multi-talented. One of these days you´ll find your place and the unpleasant feeling of being lost will be history.

Your self-portrait is amazing!

Stop by sometime if you get a chance.
