The other day I suddenly got the urge to do a self-portrait. I can't even remember the last time I did one, so I broke out the paints. This took me all day, literally, I started after breakfast and didn't finish until 11 at night. At least half of that was spent working on the hat. The painting looks a lot better in person then it does here (I had to take a picture of because it is too big to scan). I have been doing quite a bit of painting this summer, but other than this one I only really happy with one other painting (I'll put it up later). I think tomorrow will be another day spent in my painting pants, and possibly one of the last for a while; I haven't decided whether or not I am going to bring my paints back with me yet.
I wanted to portray myself with my Domo kun hat 1. because I love that hat and 2. because it meant I wouldn't have to paint my full face, and I put the blue hair in even though I don't have it anymore (no worries though blue will be back before school starts), and finally I couldn't paint a self portrait without a mushroom.
