Self-Portrait, 5x7

What a surprisingly different painting for me. It's a very classic still life, and I called it Self-Portrait because as I was painting I noticed my reflection. Can you see it? I have big windows in my studio, you can see them reflected too. I love this antique silver perfume bottle, a family heirloom. The stopper is stuck and it has perfume in it that probably dates to the 1940s.

  2. Beautiful, Carmen. I can see the windows and I can just about see you. If I didn't know you were there, though, I wouldn't know that you were.
