Painting: Self Portrait

A couple of years back I took a course at Bellevue Community College called Intuitive Art.  The underlying idea of the class was to get out of your own way and let the creative art come out.  So we worked with inexpensive materials and didn't spend a lot of time trying to create something monumental.  It was just go with the flow and you will create.  It was an awesome class and I have a few pieces from the class that I really one.  My favorite is a larger than life self portrait.  It is huge and loud, but I LOVE it.  It is not living room appropriate, but I have it hanging up in my craft room.  Something about it speaks to me still, even though anyone else looking at it probably thinks that it was part of an elementary school art project. I love it though, so that is all that matters!!

That is SOOOOOOOOOOO good! You should post others. How come I haven't seen that hanging up at your house when we come over?
