Self Portrait 3

"Self Portrait 3" 23.725" x 14" Gouache on Paper 1979

Sunlit door with shadow of the artist - parody of one of Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". This was light from the storm door in our kitchen in High Point, NC - great view facing west over the pasture in the evening. I had already painted my shadow on that rectangle of light twice, and decided to get more creative - that funky towel inspired me to pose like one of PiCasso's "ladies"!

The original is in a private collection.
