"carpet tacks"self portrait 8: through the looking glass darkly

mixed media on wood: acrylic paint, photoshopped photograph, carpet tacks, cloth flowers, jewels, collaged paper, mirrors

25" X 15 1/2" X 1"

EXPLANATION OF THIS PAINTING:

there are times that i, like everyone, look into the mirror and see "hard times". by temperment i am normally a very cheerful, happy, upbeat person. but we all have "those days"! when this happens i look again, through a looking glass brightly, and concentrate on all the good in my life. of course what always comes to mind is my bliss, the fabulous helena. you can see her down in the lower right hand corner. helena brightens my life.

Openess is your second name .... :) your art and your inner Self are combined in your pictures and that is great strength as well as a great mix of fun , disclosure, and being human .. Like a child. There is a light around your work ... A touch of neon in a smile ...

Your work is always so colorful even though you say you are sad.

Wonderful piece Jennifer. Love your words too.

Concentrating on what we have rather than have not is always a good idea, especially when viewed through a colorful looking glass, as portrayed here.

Beautifully expressive art work Jennifer.

"Those days" are no fun, but I'm convinced that they makes one a better person in the end...

Well, we do not see as a child anymore, but (through Helena) you can enter that world momentarily
