PORTRAITS FOR LIFE

I never was a fan of self-portraits.

Why not?

Well, in fact, I don’ t like to look at me in a mirror!

Why not?

Well, it is a little bit embarassing to answer, but to tell the truth, when I look at myself, I only see the ugly details! I focuse my eyes on them, exactly the way I do when I do a painting. The difference is that I can fix the errors on a paintng, but not on my face or body!

But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that I am full of complexes and that I suffer. I have the right amount of self-confidence and I have a partner who repeats me 10 times the day that I am the most beautiful woman in the world! Nothing better to feel like Miss Universe!

I did that sketch of me some months ago. Ink, water colour, and computer manipulation. Mousy is a product of my imagination… I was alone at home, my Kevin was gigging in the UK and I needed some company…

But do you know what? In honour of this new blog, I will make a series of self-portraits! Perhaps I don’t even need to put myself in front of a mirror for that… many painters do it that way!
