Did you know that the face in that painting is actually Gerhard's own daughter?
What a wonderful face and I love the fresh modern perspective.
Placing her face laying down adds dimension and highlights one side.
If your face were in a place, where would you hang?
Sideways, backwards or upside down?

Adds a completely different perspective to the subject - doesn't it? Thanks for sharing - enjoy your Tuesday. Jalon
ks does have good taste! i think straight on. with all the wrinkles and imperfections showing would be best:) love that you may be related to the artist. that is so, so cool. xo
Sweet face. I like portraits, which do not necessarly face the onlooker directly. I think portraits or self portraits are the hardest art form to master. There are so many subtle messages send to the viewer, consciously or sub consciously.
The great painters are the ones who reflect the feelings/moods of the sitter into the painting. Something of the essence of the person.
Love seeing yesterday's face in the context of Kate Spade's home - one of my all time favorite interiors. I think currently I'd be hanging upside down since that's the direction I've been turning my life lately! xo
Just love Richter's work - there is a very good book that has been on my list for a while!
It's a beautiful portrait and the different view adds such great interest...I'd love to hang sideways (on my good side of course!) I think I would look more interesting that way...!
Have a great day x
on my back! no wrinkles:)
A precious face. I like how the innocence was captured.
Oh my dear friend do you really want me to answer? How about with the lights out. :) xo
That's so cool! I'm turning into a fan of his work (Kate Spade isn't too bad either :)
Thank you for another lesson in art Ms. pve.
Thanks for the mention Patricia! I do love that piece! Happy to have you as a friend on Facebook too! I'm headed to bed but in the morning, I'm sending you a message in your inbox...
Gorgeous photos! Daily sunscreen and trips to the dermatologist for some microdermabrasion are helping me in the fight for youthful skin!
xoxo
