My reflection. I was in the train going home. There was a problem with the train traffic and so I had to take a detour. I had to take the train to Groningen from Duivendrecht and get off in Amersfoort to take a train back to Utrecht. I had to stand the during the whole journey, because the train was really full. Luckily the trip didn’t take as long as I thought. I thought of drawing other people, but I was not in the mood for getting caught or looking for the ‘right’ subject. As I was standing facing the windows, I could clearly see myself. Seeing my own reflection made me think, ‘there, I have found the right subject. I don’t need to look to far’. I couldn’t let the chance slip away. So here is my entry for Everyday Matters Challenge #56 – Self Potrait.
Evy — THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! I love especially the way you’v'e composed the portrait of you (a very pretty you, I might add) .. wonderful!
There you are, Evy! I really like this picture, and it’s good to see your face! I think it’s extra neat that you got to draw yourself on the train!
Very cool, I like the style. I was wondering what you did it in. Also, your colors fit the mood I think you had. heheh
Nice to “see” you, Evy!
A good opportunity for a good sketch!
Evy, what a wonderful portrait! You always do the most wonderful sketches no matter what it is!!
Evy, that is a wonderful sketch!!
Great Drawing.
What a clever, original response to this challenge! You must be very pleased with the result.
What a great sketch. Lots of detail. I think it would be difficult to do in a moving vehicle while standing, but you did it! Good job.
Thank you for your kind comments! Lydia: I used my Rotring XONOX pen 0.1 and Windsor Newton Cotman watercolor.
a terrific and unusual idea for a self portrait, turned out beautifully, love the composition!!!
Thank you Cin!
