Kerry:
Having trouble seeing "me" in my previously posted abstract Self Portrait? ???
Hint: Hold a mirror in front of the image and view it in the mirror. :D
Kerry:
The portrait of Geri in the first post of this thread was a scan of a hard-copy photo and did not reproduce the original painting with satisfactory clarity. I have, therefore, replaced it with a new digitally formatted image. :)

Though I have not worked professionally as an artist, my art has never ceased to sustain and nourish me throughout my life. It keeps me grounded and centered. My art provides a place where I can retreat and hide when the going gets tough. A safe refuge. My art is always there for me. When I am painting, time and space cease to exist for me.

Hi Kerry,
It must be somehow (not sure whether this is the word I am looking for) reassuring to have something like that where time and space cease to exist. One's own place. “Kerry's place”.
I like the portrait of Geri very much, the stained glass window design and the resemblance to Modigliani's style. I had seen photos of Modigliani's paintings but it wasn't until I saw an exhibition on him, two/three years ago, that I really got to like and appreciate his style.
What did Geri say about the portrait?
Kerry:
I am enormously fond of the work of Modigliani. I particularly love his portraits. He tragically died far too young. :'(
I hope all is well with you, Sel, and you weren't anywhere near the earthquake when it struck.

I am fine Kerry. I live in a different part of Italy, North West. Thank you for asking.
