Picking Strawberries with Grandpa
Self Portrait - day 25
9"x12"
oil on canvas board

Does this count as a self portrait? I think it does. Besides, I couldn't resist painting him helping me pick the strawberries. He was a very selective harvester, only selecting the largest berries... and of course he had to have one in each hand. He ate them like they were apples. Soon after these few strawberries were devoured his shirt was redesigned with berry juice.

I think it counts as a self plus portrait. I bet it will be one of your favorites in later years.
