Yearly self-portrait with a bird. 2016. J.Harms. 29x39cm. Acrylic on paper.
I year ago, I decided I would paint a portrait of myself once a year. One of my sisters, usually blunt in her honesty, pointed out that it looked like I had just come out of prison, (she was part right in noticing that something had come out of a cage, although it wasn’t me), while the other, more diplomatically, thought it rather interesting, and totally different from the previous self portrait. I was just happy both had immediately recognized me.
Great sp!

I think this is a very expressive portrait. I especially love the streak of light blue on your cheek and jaw, and its echo on the other side.
