Portrait - oil

Comments

Very inventive Gudrun and a good use of that paint.

Aha, so that's what you look like Gudrun.

Love your economic style Gudrun and that mischievous glint in your eyes.

Well done Gudrun. I thought this was a sp even before I read your post. I may have to try one myself - warts and all as , I think ,Cromwell said.

Very eye-catching Gudrun and you have caught a good expression.

Fantastic self portrait Gudrun

Like this Gudrun, great sparing use of colour in just the right places

ps I don't do SP often, if at all because I always end up making myself look grotesque somehow. I thought I would be 'nice' to myself this time. Eek. I have just looked out of the window. Snow ....

Saw this on the forum, but thought I'd comment here. Your marvellous style that manages to say everything with a few lines and marks. Great expression and a very real person looking back at us. Love it.

Love your wonderful mark making!

Lovely work Gudrun, 👍😀

Some more thanks for your appreciation! I am off to explore new ink pens that are archival.

Just enough brush strokes to convey your personality Gudrun. This one just has something about it and I think it's great!!

Thank you Louise! Your comments are much appreciated.

18x24cm oil on linen on board. Well, I had the oils out, so I thought I would do a rare SP.
