this weeks assignment was to create a painting of MYSELF! easy enough right!? i've looked at this face in the mirror everyday for the last twenty years, so i SHOULD... should be able to make a decent picture of me! the catch here was that the picture is supposed to be a caricature! you may have seen these zaney portraits walking the streets of disneyland or other theme parks! basically a caricature is a face that has been exaggerated in certain areas. i decided to exaggerate the features that i thought may be most attractive... the eyes and lips... AND HAIR OF COURSE! my mama's from texas, i know a little somethin about big hair so i absolutely HAD to include some great big exaggerated curls! i'm still not completely satisfied with the painting yet... but i can't put my finger on what needs to be fixed up! HELP ME BROTHER BURR!
i'm in pursuit of what currently seems to be the IMPOSSIBLE! the dream is to be SUPER-WIFE [making my husband the happiest man alive], along with the next Dr. Seuss [creating B-E-A-UTIFUL illustrations and paintings for children's literature], and also to beat out my arch-enemy, BETTY CROCKER [i will make a better brownie than that woman... SOMEHOW!] it's all so much easier said than done though! this blog consists of my learnings and experiences and mistakes and successes as i pursue MY DREAMS
betty/seuss: (noun) a combination of the 1920's cultural icon, all-American baker Betty Crocker and the American writer-poet-cartoonist, known for his children's books and creative genius, Dr. Seuss!
