A self-portrait with another self-portrait and my last painting as a background. Foreground: Nude, pastel drawing on watercolor paper, private collection Europe / Background: YouMe, oil on canvas, private collection Australia I reluctantly did this self-portrait, it was one of the compulsory themes for my final exam in Portraiture Photography. My teacher told us to come with something creative and interesting, and gave us some amazing examples from previous years. I left this till the last moment because nothing interesting crossed my mind. In the end I took my last drawing for Chris Orchard’s class and my last painting and did this. I used the natural light which was coming from the balcony from my right side. The image wasn’t “photoshoped”. / Finally when I got up there in front to talk about my work, I was surprised to see that this work was everyone’s favorite. It was the least prepared of all my works. The commission selected it to put it on the school website, and not long after, The Advertiser news paper, called me to publish it. My agent printed it on a large canvas which was sold during South Australian Living Artists Festival.
A tribute to Beatles.
Velvet touch.
I think that this one will be great For the resturant / Gods kitchen.. the theme is perfect for that resturant. Acrylic and inks on stretched canvas 1992 / called for the sultans eyes only ..I imagined a secret and royal type middle eastern setting .. and that one of the sultans harem girls had wandered out into maybe a forbidden zone.. there are only certain rooms that the harem girls can go into. ..and certain places not.. / to me this is a real east meets west painting / In my blood runs some middle eastern (lebanese) on my mothers side plus european (scottish and irish )blood on my fathers side .. / some of my work has a real middle eastern / theme or flavour and this is one of them. / $950 au size: 60 and 1/2 cm by 90 cm / This painting has been SOLD..thankyou for your interest . / Linda Ridpath, 8 days ago / this is beautiful, i love the blue colour here!!
