That's what insomnia does for you :)<BR/><BR/>Jeanne, most self portraits tend to be fairly sombre and how much you want to show of the 'real' person varies. <BR/><BR/>Vivien, thanks. The portrait just sort of happened without much preplanning. Sometimes that is the best way.<BR/><BR/>Robyn, thank you. It was such a fun piece to do. Tongue rolling is a genetic trait apparently...<BR/><BR/>Tracy, thanks for your comments. I wanted to get away from my usual graphite for a change and like the outcome.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-37049790261848906642008-02-25T16:32:00.000-03:302008-02-25T16:32:00.000-03:30How fun of a piece!

Why is my tongue getting shorter?<BR/><BR/>I really like the look of this one on the gray. I am the opposite about portraying me. I almost always show me at my worse.

I guess this is it. And I agree, portraits tend to show us at our best.
