Self-Portrait

"Self-Portrait" - by Kathy Pham (2013).

Soft graphite pencils

3 hours

A word from the artist:

What Dali said was true:"I do not paint a portrait 

to look like the subject,

rather does the person grow 

to look like his portrait." 

I finally put down my pencil, stood back, and just stared. Even though she didn't look finished or well-done, I knew this was the final product. This was me at 9:35pm on February 25th, 2013. I, Kathy Pham, am not complete yet.

As the years go by and things happen, I'll make sure it take it down on paper. There is still room for me to grow.
