Description
9/24/2021 Featured in the group called Created by my Hands on Fine Art America
This is a self portrait I sketched in my apartment in Malden, Massachusetts during the years I was studying at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. I remember the Maxwell House coffee jars were great for holding turpentine and my snake plant in the background lasted for many years. The mirror was a wedding gift from my brother and I often used mirrors in my still life works back then.
This predates the digital era and the image was made from one of the last remaining records I have of early work...slides.

Wow- what a wonderful self portrait, Nancy! Love seeing your early work. So strong even then! LF

This is an amazing work, Nancy! The portrait is wonderfully intense, your gaze to the audience inviting everyone into your studio. The art equipment, forming a corridor of brushes, easels, a lead-in canvas... is carefully composed, every plane exploding with triangles .I loved reading the painterly details which add to the delight! And the limited color palette...so perfect! Bravo! F/L+++

Wonderful artwork, Nancy! Glad you commented that the Maxwell House coffee jar was turpentine otherwise I would have been wondering if it was a tasty drink. L / F
