i painted me to try and find me

that's it, really.

this is the self-portrait i painted of myself this weekend. a different, very slow, kind of ‘selfie.’ the original selfie, really.

i haven’t painted in maybe 8 years, and i bought some gouache paints and fell right back into the muscle memory of something i love doing.

i didn’t try to paint anything realistic, correct, or with proper form/mixing/technique. get very caught up in those things - but with paint, i can play again.

i think the expression on this person’s face (if she is truly me) is exactly how i feel, too: she’s stuck, but still awake, ready, and willing.

that’s it for tonight. hope you all are well.
