Self portrait Tuesday
This is a self portrait of hope. Hope that this show goes well, that the journey of painting these is closing wounds and opening doors. I am hopeful that by releasing these paintings to the world I am releasing the pain. It is about endings and moving on to new beginnings.
I put the timer on my camera and let it take snaps while I worked. This is a day in my life. Wake up, throw my hair back, wash my face, grab tea and water and head out to the studio. No getting dressed up, no one to interact. Just me.

oh leth...these pictures of you in your workspace amongst your creations brought tears to my eyes.
you are a beautiful goddess. you seem so comfy in your element. i love that.
i just had a flashback of you giving me one of your first paintings of mermaids. remember i hung it on my wall at my first apartment? and look at you now...professional artiste extrordinaire!
i am so glad you did this. you sending your art into the Universe is all part of the healing process, like we talked about on our phone date. i see it now...i see a burden lifted for you while it fills another's soul.
loving you tender,
deni xoxoxo
oh sweetie, it is such a treat to see you at work - i want to be there in your studio RIGHT NOW, gossiping with you while you work, then we could break for lunch and go to the pub (i'm so with you on that one :-)
your show is going to be phenomenal, i just know it. *you* are phenomenal... i think we're about due for a little phone don't you? :-)))
