Message board
I just joined and added the three aspects of my self that I recently uploaded online. My art is not in any way realistic and I don't know what this group will make of that. But I very much enjoy the concept of making a self-portrait and think this group is a great idea.
thanks for sharing your work with the self portrait group!! Feel free to add more!! This group is all about the endless self!! Great to meet you :-))))
Hope I didn't add too many at one time! It just happens that many of my recent paintings have been self portraits.
no worries Dan!! Great to meet you and thanks for taking part in our group!! Its a pleasure to see your work!!!
I think you raise an interesting point, uptonparkman. I know for sure that all my images of women are basically self portraits...
If its about you, put it in this group! You are welcome to describe your thoughts behind the work so we can see how you got to do the art you've done :-)))
just a question, but aren't all works 'self portraites' no matter the subject?
You're quite right that art is just parts of the creator but 'self portrait' can be a definite representation of the creator so this group asks artists what they consider as complete images about or of themselves. What have you got for us!? :-))))
hi Steven thank you very much for the kind invite,you have got me thinking now as to what to convey about me,i will give it a go anyway soon,great idea
Thanks Stephen! I like your concept and it might be a challenge to try new ways of looking from the artist eye to the canvas for something completely new and refreshing. I am game! :-) Cheers, J
Jerry you are a star and this group is all the brighter for you being here!! Thanks for posting your work my friend!! I look forward to seeing this group grow!!






This is how I felt when I moved away from my first real studio to a new culture unfamiliar. I felt tangeled in unfamiliar teritory with no outlet for my work;however I could see where I might find a place with a lot of networking which was not in my cumfort zone.
