My 3rd self portrait

[Barbara Hudson]

Hello to everybody!

I am a self taught artist and I have been painting for the last two and a half years now. I decided in the last few months to try my hand at portraiture as it is the 'ultimate challenge' for any artist.

My first challenge was at the tender age of 9, when I came first in a national art competition at my school.

Then I waited another 40 years to have the chance to use my gift to the full!

I don't believe that I have just given away my age!!

I have attached my 3rd self portrait and, as you will see, I still have a long way to go, however, I am willing to work hard at achieving my ultimate goal.

Thanks for reading.
