New Self-Portraits
Here are a couple new self-portraits that I've done since I've been here in Florence. I guess this is kinda a self-discovery year for me, and maybe it's not been the easiest time so far, so I think that's coming through in these new self-portraits:P

Hey girlie...it'll get better I promise!
When I was 20 I moved to Mallorca Spain to study Art...all by myself.New Life, New Language...new culture...no family.
Be strong,you're there for your passion, and by the time you're ready to leave, I promise you...you'll want to stay.
HUGS.(I think you need some)

P.S. I haven't done a self portrait for many years...but I'm a little afraid of what I'll see...yours are brilliant, but I'm feeling your loneliness.
These self portraits are powerful.
Great and moving..
Hi Kristy!
Wow, these are amazing. I love the close up one. The ones below that you did over there too turned out really nice :) Even if there haven't been easy times it looks like you are getting alot out of your studies over there. Keep it up, miss you here in Ottawa!
A very personal manner here, besides the obvious realism.
Wow,Florence. I spent a year there in my last year in school and have never been back. I'll visit the blog a little more regularly not just to see your new work but also to see what you're up to and to see if things have changed. I expect you get your art supplies from Zecchis' if it's still there...?
Very powerful portraits, Kristy. The growth comes with growing pains. Keep going!
Rembrandt painted honest self-portraits that showed his travails writ on his face - these have that quality, one that makes me uncomfortable if I look at them too long. That's a kind of genius, the kind that scalds a little - be well.
You are very talented! Read great artist!
I've enjoyed watching your blog and also your portrait painting on Bravo television. You are a very gifted painter.
I have awarded you the "Sunshine Blog Award". Please come to my blog to see it. (No obligation)
