Picasso style self portrait
This is my first painting “acrylic on canvas”. This work has inspired and encouraged me to move forward with my art. Because my teacher told me “Keep painting” after viewing this work it has encouraged me to do just that. It has a special place for me, and has pushed me into the world of creativity. Although mirrored on Picasso’s “Women with book”, here this painting has so much of me in it.

This was the work which first drew me into your gallery; and, sure enough, I’ve come back here to take another look, again. BRILLIANT! You’ve made Picasso’s masterpiece almost entirely your ‘own’.
(Certainly, I hope one day to be able to produce something similar.)

roger boreham
think youmissed the mark here look at a picasso and you will find he uses two perspectives of the same face,,,,,,,, dropped down,.,.... and softened
nice painting tho….
CateTownsend
Thanks for stopping by and your comment Roger, I feel that I must let you know that I am well informed about Picasso …... I never intened this piece of work to exactly mirror Picasso. It was a self portrait and I used his painting of “Women with book” as an inspiration…
This being my first painting as an adult and being greatly inspired as a teenager by Picasso, I wanted something from him in my first painting, so I honed in on colour and design, but still wanting it to say this is Cate. I guess I’m like a bower bird taking bits and pieces from here and there and building up my treasure chest.
rosineart
Wow!!! Fantastic work!
