After my last blog about my Grumpy Selfie, I started thinking what a wonderful thing I had stumbled upon. It was so much fun painting a goofy self-portrait, it must be just as joyful painting a not-so traditional portrait of others. So I started with my Mom,. She's going on 99 and was very keen on my new project, Making Faces. Most people would want a lovely portrait painted, but Mom saw the joy of making fun of oneself and resulting hilarity. Good on you Mom! This show is dedicated to you!
I've never had so much fun painting! I find myself actually laughing while I'm painting. I also learn so much with each painting I do. I've also had fun approaching strangers and showing them what I am working on. Their faces light up and they become so keen to take part. Very few people decline the offer of having their picture taken.
I'm hoping to have painted at least 30 portraits by October 2017 (show time). It is going to be so much fun to have all the subjects and their friends and family present for the opening! Think of the hilarity and laughter it will produce!
Paintings will be offered for sale for $180 (framed or not) with 20% going to the Kelowna Women's Shelter. If you'd like to be part of this new way of looking at yourself, please send me a clear close-up of yourself and I'll see what I can do! You can email me at jansich@telus.net, or contact me and if you are in my area, I may be able to take a photo of you to use.
