Ceramic Self Portrait ------------------------------ Painting

When lying on the front porch swinging bed, wistfully taking in sunshine, and some music, some objects get "stared at" more than others. I'm not sure how long I stared at this before I had to paint it, but it's very familiar, and my own view of it as well. From one of my favorite places...one of my favorite objects. Why is it a self-portrait? You just have to look carefully to figure that out. 8x10 Oil paint on WOOD panel. There is a frame for it, but I will refrain from staining it just yet to allow you a choice of hues for it...custom. That frame is 1/2" thick oak frame that is 2.25 inches wide, so very nice and hefty. This one seems to deserve that. However...note to those who purchase my art: I will reframe or send anything to you UNframed if you so desire. I frame almost everything and most of the frames are custom-made by me in my shop of wood horrors.
