Self Portraits & Vincent Van Gogh

On March 17 I decided to start drawing a portrait of myself everyday.  The portraits could be from a mirror, old photograph, memory or a selfie I took that day. I have wanted to challenge myself for awhile now and the portrait idea came from watching Frida. It has been going well so far. and I thought I would share what I have so far with you. Let me know what you think. Before I share my self portraits I would like to share a self portrait done by my best friend Amanda. She came over to do art with me and I shared my portraits with her and she did one. Its pretty awesome. I tried to base one of my portraits on hers.

Amanda's Favorite artists  is Vincent Van Gogh who is also on my inspiration list so I thought today I would share my favorite pieces from
 him. First I would like to share Amanda's favorite piece from Van Gogh which is one of my favorites as well.

"The Starry Night"

What can I say about Vincent Van Gogh his artwork is legendary. He is my best friend Amanda & my grandmother's favorite artist for good
 reason. His use of colors in his painting are so vivid and vibrant. I always feel a bit warm and fuzzy when I see one of his paintings. I don't
 know how to explain it but they make me feel at peace and calm, like everything is going to be okay. They also give me the feeling that 
they are alive. It as if   I could close my eyes for just one second and  the painting comes to life but as soon as I open them its back to
 how it was. I wish I  could live inside a Van Gogh paining.
