it’s her again—
wearing that big fancy hat
pretending she’s me
“Lavender Hat” - 6 x 6” - Pastel
There was a time I walked to a drawing studio, close to home. I went there to be in good company. Every week there was a live model sitting in a lively setting and everyone there was either drawing or painting. I sat there folding paper, making origami. One day, Maurice came over and handed me a small box of colored pencils and said, “Here, do something with these.” And I did. I began to draw and learned to paint. Thank you, Maurice!
I get a kick doing self-portraits. I never know who’s going to show up!
