Distraction a self portrait

Thank you Ramon. I really need to get back to the fantasy.....as work has become tighter and more detail-driven, so has my art and that is not really a good thing.

Intricate and creative portrait. Your fantasy is wonderful, Melinda! F

Awesome work !

This is really gorgeous. Almost like it's out of a dream.

Oh, Douglas, I LOVE that comment. I can be described a blockhead sometimes, but NEVER a BOX head.....so escape away!

Revisiting a masterpiece of Reconstructed Destruction...from the “secret story” behind it’s creation it seems like “thinking outside the box” was a result of not fitting into the box in the first place.....Congratulations for escaping from the Box Heads !

Thank you so much Taphath for the wonderful honor.

This is so unique and creative, Melinda!! Congratulations, your work is Featured in "Mix Your Media"! I invite you to place it in the group's "Featured Image Archive" Discussion!! L/F

Thank you, Ramon.

Excellent work!

Thank you AnnaJo. There is a secret story behind this one: I had carefully rendered a portrait of myself in oil pastels but my mentor looked at and said 1) it was too perfect, 2) it didn't reveal anything about me except what I looked like, and 3) I had once again made my eyes too big. I was so upset/hurt that I ripped the portrait up and stuffed it into my portfolio. Later, I decided that the destruction itself said something about me....and so this one began. It is now one of my favorite self portraits. LOL

Self portraits always seem so brave. I love the way that you did this, Melinda. f/l

There for a while, I really identified with the "puzzle piece." I used it a lot in my art for a while. Thank you so much for your comment, Marvin.
