Self portrait with Sammy
Oil on panel 6" x 8"
This month's challenge is particularly apropos, as I am turning 60 in two weeks. To all my friends who have blown by this milestone years ago and scoff, I say - "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to." (and I'm old enough to have heard Leslie Gore sing that song on the radio.) Actually, I have more or less come to grips with 60. Although I haven't done nearly enough with my life and my art, my friends in their 70's and 80's give me hope that I still have time to change that. I am looking forward to a new year full of promise.
I am taking a sabbatical from the challenge group for a while. It has been I great experience brain storming with these talented artists and I am going to miss them. Here is their take on old age:
