Self-portrait of the Artist as an insomniac 090215-0204

Of course I am neither as pretty nor as young as this, but this is me
tonight, unable to sleep.

Self-portrait with Blue Light

The blue Light is supposed to help me sleep better. Maybe it does, a little.

ancient, and getting ancienter

I know, I know, we all get old, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Taken while cross country skiing, by me, with my new Canon digital
elph. (tiny pocket camera.)

Self-portrait of the Artist with a Hawk Skull, by Mary Stebbins Taitt.
I am taking my second-ever water-media class and did this self
portrait in water color for a take-home assignment, but it doesn't
look much like me, even though all the parts are relatively similar.
I like it anyway (though it is not without flaws).

Mike Kline's Bog Book. Composed of dots, like a pixelated photo. She

Self Portrait in "Light"

well, in a light fixture

Deep in the Forest, self portrait with leaves

Deep in the Forest, self portrait with leaves, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. In Celebration of digital images, I created this by hand with dots of ink. It took a long time. Some pens worked better than others. Some wouldn't make a dot unless I moved them a little and then they made a dash. :-( Some pens made tiny dots and some made big dots. But here is is. Including a detail. (It doesn't really look that much like me, and makes me look younger than I am. It's more a self-portrait of my inner self, LOL!)

Self-portrait with haircut.

Self-portrait with haircut. I cut my hair today. I cut off more than
a foot which I will probably send to locks of love. However, I am
unemployed and they no longer provide mailing labels, so I may not.
One of these braids is from today and the other was cut when I was 14 years old.
