Butter Box Book Self Portraits

With my breast cancer diagnosis came a shift in my perception of self, what is important and 'the bottom line'. Life, those I love, my feline person, my art, all important stuff. Hair, will grow back. They told me this would be the week my hair fell out and they were right. My Man shaved what hair I had yesterday morning. It was a relief really, much better than watching it fall.

And if any of you have been reading for a while, you will have ascertained that quick sketching is not something I embrace, rather, I like studied portraits, in depth explorations of shape and proper proportion. So why not make quick self portraits part of my daily routine? Quick gestures that capture this new emergence of self and self image?

Done deal. The Butter Box Book seems a great repository for this!
