self portrait of someone i know
Original gouache painting on archival watercolor paper.
6 x 6 inches with small white border.
This was part of the daily painting,Plant Portrait Series of February 2025.
Day 13, painted 2/13/25-2/24/25, over Valentine’s Day.
Back story:
How does a portrait of a person make its way into a plant portrait series?, you ask.
I’m not entirely sure. This one is a combo of (plant) wallpaper, flowers meant to be Edelweiss, which I understand to be German for mountain flower. This someone has said of me and thus, part “self portrait". Someone I know, word “plays” / multiple entendre, things I love: multiple meanings and interpretations. (Only when it’s nice and lovely though. Multiple interpretations can suck too!)
When the portrait doesn't come out looking like you, you just make a loose reference to it not being a self portrait. More bio than autio bio, perhaps!
Check out Plant Portrait Series of February 2025 if you want more story on this piece. If there is more, it will be in that Write.
Important note:
THIS PIECE DOES NOT COME FRAMED.
These pieces are SHOWN placed in a Basic Box Wood Frame which I love the aesthetic of for the simplicity and minimalist aesthetic. It COULD be a good choice for your frame and you will have the option to add it at checkout. But please note the piece DOES NOT COME FRAMED or in this frame. The picture is so you can see it in a setting but you will get to PYO frame for it! You can ADD THIS frame as an add on during check out.
