Brisbane was in lockdown again over the last 4 days. I couldn’t go out to buy new canvasses so I decided to recycle an old piece that I really didn’t like that much. Unfortunately it was an old mixed media piece where I had glued a lot of scrap papers of different textures on the canvas so it was a bit bumpy and lumpy to paint on.
I decided then I would paint a self-portrait. I haven’t got a painting of Diesel weasel dog, so I thought I would feature him in this particular painting, along with Maxicat (although Maxi already has his own painting).
I think you would commonly find me sitting in this position at home, doing one of the following:
messing around with my phone or iPad
crocheting
sewing
reading
Anth thinks I look gloomy in this painting but I’m not, really. It’s just my resting b*tch face when I don’t have to try hard for anyone. Maxi doesn’t care, and certainly Diesel doesn’t either.
Right now, I have a pile of “To Be Read” books, a large green scented candle from Dusk and a green china oil burner on the wooden bureau at home, so I’ve painted them all in. The pretty leaves, flowers and funny birds are all branching out of books because that’s the best way of escaping now with all those travel restrictions in place.
