Greeta’s Struggle

 Using a photo from 8 years ago, I attempted a self portrait. I probably saved it because it didn’t show a lot of age lines. 

So as I worked I realized that what was emerging was sort of like me many, many years ago. 

So I tried to add the age. And found out I couldn’t make that work by just going darker and darker. 

So I stopped. And that lipstick is all wrong🙄. Joyful though, to paint on Arches again after so much painting in books with lower quality paper.
