day 8 of {21} challenge


I just finished my page for day 8 -- just in time to take a photo and post before dashing out to paint at Jana's! The only way I got this done today was by resisting the temptation to go online all day long (not an easy task). I used a self-portrait that I took of myself back in February. The colors were way too yellow, so I made it black and white. I definitely like this one better than the ones I made yesterday. And I'm still just really enjoying working on something creative every day!

I think this speaks out--the picture combined with the qoute just make a tremendous statement that the world is yours and all you have to do is put your mind to it! and anything is achievable. Good work!

I would never think to do a self portrait! Was there anything in particular that made you do it, or was is just a whim? I'm going to have to consider this one!

I love the piece, by the way. It turned out really cool.
