YES, this is me!  NO, it is not a mop!  I need coffee in the morning!!!  Several cups!  I love coffee jokes too. 
THIS PAINTING IS NOT FOR SALE!  It is my SELFIE portrait; however, I will be happy to paint one of you behind your cup!  Please Read On...

I was inspired recently as I was enjoying my first cup of java.  I looked really bad!  We have this mirror at the kitchen door going to the back and I saw myself.  Oh my!  My hair was flying everywhere (as it usually does....more like feathers), and I couldn't help but laugh.  I decided to take a selfie to send to a couple of my sisters who also "love" their morning coffee.  So here it is....I have to confess, I painted my hair a little better, didn't paint all the wrinkles and made my baggy eyes look a little better.  I didn't want to scare anyone.  I took my ARTISTIC LICENSE!

Let me paint your "selfie" portrait! Follow this link for more information:

The process of painting radishes is a most enjoyable experience and a great subject.  I think the actual color of these should have a little more alizarin crimson color to them.  I purposely used more cadmium red because I enjoyed the complementary effect with the green vase.  "Artistic License"...a great thing even though it has gotten me into a little trouble before.....not serious....just cornering me into a defensive conversation:)  This painting is for sale in my Etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/79109565/green-metal-vase-with-red-radishes-8x10
