Self Learning via Self Portrait

Howdy-Do!!

I turned 50 years old a few weeks ago, and on my birthday I decided to paint a self-portrait as a gift to myself. I had never even considered painting myself in the past, but it seemed like the right thing to do so I went for it! I learned a few things along the way that I thought I would share with you.

I chose a photograph to work from, and I got to work. At first I didn’t give a lot of thought to the fact that it was ME I was paining. But the more I painted, the more I started to see things and realize things about myself. It was a real learning and self-growth process. If you would like to hear more, please check out this video blog. Thank you and Namaste. — Karen
