Self Portrait with Carly

SelfPortraitcubes200

I painted this while looking in the mirror. Later Carly did her own drawing t became part of the composition

Oil on masonite board and gesso. 12” x 12”

Painted with small squares as the impressionistic mechanism the work has a distinctly alaskan indian kind of way about it. Being that the surface is treated as a decorative panel like a totem pole. While working on this my baby Carly was intrigued and I ended up drawing her into the background. Later when not looking she added some elements of her imagination that I decided to keep.
