Self portrait...Photo digital art..



Pixel Dust Photo ArtFor Photo Art Friday pixeldustphotoart.com Bonnie asked us to create an artful self portrait using any texture or treatment we want that references us or indicates who we are. I don't have many recent good photos of myself to work with so made a small collage.

Lower right photo was taken when I was 3 1/2 years old..and that's me in the center - age 63, two years ago  What happened to all the years in between?  I try to avoid the camera.  The clock alludes to my feeling that time is so relative it's possible to travel through it spiritually; and one of my favorite old-fashioned flowers, the hollyhock.  The hair is grey.


 Then I tried the daisy texture...I think it's the better of the two.






Last week she had asked for us make a digital art portrait ( of someone else).  Missing the deadline on that, I am taking this time to post the one I did awhile ago of my Great grandmother, Alice; it was simple and easy to do.

    Beautiful portraits of you and Alice! I like the one with the crown of daisies, too.

    I too try to avoid the camera. But I have to say, there doesn't seem to be that much change in you from when you were 3 1/2! Lovely work!

    These are very nice. I like the 1st piece with you as a child and then now. The clock and analogy you used work so well togther. It was fun getting a glimpse into your life.
