Description
Subtitled "Me at 50" (even though I'm not quite there yet), this pencil drawing was conceived as a sequel to the "Alice Syndrome" self portrait I had created in my early 20s. While I have always thought skulls were beautiful, the approaching half-century mark is really making me feel the memento mori.

Thank you, Douglas. I am pleased with it.....even if my family finds it disgusting and ugly. Oh well, can*t please everyone. LOL

Masterful self portrait, Melinda. I like your description. I will reconsider my notion about skulls. Beautiful? I guess you are right. f/l

Oops....I forgot to issue a thank you for the feature in the WHAT Interrobang group. Sorry, I missed it somehow.

Thank you so much Stephen and Viva. Viva, my mind just can't wrap itself around that number yet for some reason. I keep telling people I'm going to be 48 or 49....and BELIEVING that's the truth. I'm happy I'm still kicking. Sure beats the alternative. LOL
