This weekend is the monthly “Sketch With Me” virtual sketch crawl event, and the theme for March is “self portrait”. I really don’t like photos of myself and sketching myself is out of my comfort zone. So while we were at church I sketched a few things that sort of define my personality: plaid is my “favorite color”, and I love a hot cup of tea and reading books on my iPad Mini. I’m most often found wearing long skirts and comfortable shoes (or barefoot)! And usually with a sketchbook journal nearby. Most of my sketches have ink smears and the one of my face is no exception — I forgot the ink was not completely waterproof.
I tried taking a photo to sketch from — for some reason, a photo in the bathroom mirror worked better than a selfie — but the likeness was hard to capture. And at almost 65 years old, I actually do have some gray hair now; the gray must be as camera-shy as I am!
So nice to see you, Vicky! Thanks for sharing. Wish you happiness and health!

😄 I didn’t mean for the photo to be so dark. I took it in our tiny bathroom mirror, without the light messing up the phone-camera flash, and the log cabin walls are dark. But even the photo seems to show I hide from cameras!
DeleteBlessings to you as well!
