This is No April Fools…..Tonight is the opening of the Glenn Eure’s Ghost Fleet Gallery’s Annual Self Portrait show.
There is a special wall dedicated to Glenn this year, with a retrospective showcasing a collection of his own self portraits.
I wish I could be there in person to toast Glenn and all he has done for the arts and of course sample the highly regarded culinary delights by obxdougart. More for everyone else…this time!
I am exited to have an entry included although I admit it was much more challenging than I anticipated. Why is it so hard to paint yourself? I struggled with multiple attempts using the mirror and taking photo’s and eventually decided to go by feel and represent myself energetically.
I am not entirely sure how I feel about the outcome but I am really pleased to have had the opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone. Glenn would have liked that, he was a boundary pusher and liked to encourage others to do the same.
Here’s ‘CHEERS’ to you Glenn and a big hug to your darling wife Pat! Congratulations on the 24th Annual Self Portrait show!
