day fifty

let's just say that this is a monumental day for me! if you know me even a little, you know that being this disciplined is really tough for me. i'm just thankful i've stuck with the project for 50 days!

today, i was inspired by an artist who influenced the art world in remarkable ways. there's a portrait of Pablo Picasso that i posed like, & then i painted the picture i took of myself. here's to you, Picasso, you're definitely one of my art heroes! (this sounds weird, i know, but tonight i wish i had more wrinkles to paint- my face looks kinda plain.)

i also did something i haven't done yet: painted over a previous painting. you can see a little of it in the top right corner, but eventually it will all be covered up. i simply did not like it so it seemed dumb to keep it. additionally, day 50 took me over 2 hours to complete.

  1. You may not have wrinkles, but you have shadows! You don't look as worried as he does.
    I rather like this one.

  3. Great work Tiff! It is fun to see all the different inspirations...that and motivation are the hardest part of art. I remember Ms. Millsaps doing a similar project in high school and struggling to finish every day...but you are doing great cranking it out. You should definitely have a show at the end! Keep up the good work!
