Michael and Me

I was given an assignment in my Design class to create two self portraits. We could use any medium we wanted. I chose acrylics on a wood block for this one of my husband and me. I used the outline of trees because to me, they are perfect and when I see them I think of my husband. I used the dots in the background for variety and the gold outline for texture. I painted our hands on either side of the portrait showing our wedding rings. I wanted to include him in my self portrait because in the end, he is the one that makes me who I am.
