Every artist should do a self portrait. Most of us do several during our careers. Here is a place where we can show them. Lets see where this takes us. Maybe have a show somewhere?See More
Donald Maier commented on Donald Maier's group SelfPortraits"Good idea Cecile. Good job.
This one of me with the straw hat is from my early California period in the early 80's.
I grew my beard in the Navy and kept it for 20 years.

Donald Maier commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"It would seem that I prefer boats out of water. This one is serving as a home to someone, probably the owner, in Half Moon Bay, CA.

Plein Air Painting in Florida - My 14th State in the Quest to Paint in all 50 States

Breakthrough from my dryspell
I guess one could consider working in pastels for 9 or 10 months, a "dry spell" of sorts. They certainly are dry. But if you have been paying any attention, I have been doing daily work, sometimes 4 or 5 pieces per day. These can mount up quickly. I stopped working about a month or so ago.
