Self Portrait at Three, completed

A scanned detail from "Self Portrait at Three"

Photo of "Self Portrait at Three", 24" x 19", pastel on Pastelmat *

It was fun to get back into this pastel portrait of myself at age three and add it's final touches.

*Sometimes a scan can really do better in matching the color, value, and depth in a work of art, so after trying a scanned detail, I've added it to the top of this post, and I'll replace this photo too, as soon as I have a scan of the full image to share.

Here is the second in my series of portrayals of Princess Catherine, this time on a pink-toned background with highlights and light touches in egg tempera.  I'll add a picture of this one in it's frame later today, which is the same style and color as the frame for Princess Kate 1.
