Self Portrait with Painting of Guitar

Thank you Don. :) I am really proud of this one. I worked so hard to get to it, years, then one day, there it was. It makes me happy you recognize something valuable in it. Cheers.

Thank you, Raul. Me, too. It is one of my best. It was harder than it looks to do. I wanted to do something like it for years and it took me years to understand how to do it. When I stopped, I stepped back, and I looked at it, and I said to myself, "You did it."

Raul, Thank you for MMPE rating! :D I can still see the little plant. It was a humble little plant.

Thanks, Samuel. :)

Thank you! I just looked him up. I can see that. It's not that different from Byzantine painting in essence. I like his work - he has a cat with a shrimp that's great....for ten grand...at Christie's...not a bad place to be ;) It would be nice if he were alive to see it.

Interesting, he used tempera, too.

Thanks for turning me on to to him, Arjun. I had good fun going through his work last night.

Gray, Thanks so much! I will get my husband to take a better pic of it and edit, it's a little fuzzy.

Gabrielle, thanks so much!
