Challenge Description:
Here at Randomly Challenged, we think it is important for people to know what the other players look like. And who better to show us what you look like than you. After all, you're the person who knows you best! Actions to take:
1. You are challenged to create a self-portrait. 2. There are no rules, but you do have to be able to upload a picture of your self portrait onto your challenge. And you should know in advance that this portrait will be seen again! Minimum Requirements for Prizes:
1. We need to be able to see your finished creation so a photo is a good start. A Movie of the process would be even better. 2. Tell us about the experience with a Story. How did you feel making the portrait? Was this you first attempt at something like this? |
I am quite nervous about this. I have the blank canvas, now I have yet to start. I have been trying to paint for paintings sake, not because I am any good at it, but because I enjoy it. Now the fact I will have to release this into the world and it is such a personal piece...I am out of my comfort zone. But that is what this site is about...
Right, here it is. Very hard to do, and very hard to say I have finished when I suck at painting. This was my first completed canvas...signed sealed and delivered! There are things I am not happy with, but there always will be and part of this is not been too perfectionist, for me anyway. So here I am. I am naked because this was quite raw for me, and felt appropriate. I collaged some writing onto my head, which I took a close up photo off, to show I am always overthinking. On my shoulder is a globe, because where I am right now I feel like the world is on my shoulders, but then I glazed it over because I kind of feel that I am removed from the world as well at the moment. Like I am looking on as an observer. So...
I am looking sideways at the earth but forward, not behind me. Again how I feel at this moment. Like I am observing from the outside, but I am not saddened by that. I am still pushing forward, just aware of how I am feeling.
Now...I put a quote around the outside of me...
"What can I do for her? I watch her fading in and out - I want to help so badly. If I can centre myself - make my insides peaceful, then perhaps I can share that peace with her - Terri St Cloud"
This quote resonates with me right now, and seemed apt to go around me.
So here I am.
