I still remember my childhood, I couldn't blend in with other kids, because I would doodle on anything anytime- books, papers, walls...Boy didn't I have fun :) Well, call it "a very productive childhood with advance drawing"...if you would. Funny thing is, what seemed to be a great waste of time, turned out to be the best skill that happened to me. Had I followed others for fear of being "different", I would have grown up the "normal" way, the "accepted" way, the "way" some see as "boring but right". I guess I have grown up use to being "unaccepted". If life has taught me anything so far, it is to never be a "push over", and never look down on myself. No matter what others may think of me or have to say, I plan to make the best out whatever gifts life handed me.
The painting is of someone very special and dear to me. It is also a parody of many classical Renaissance's portraits:) The hat, which is definitely the focus point, was bought as a birthday gift...But we just couldn't wait :)
