Who's that girl...it's me! Why am I kick ass?...because last night while cooking dinner the sky fell on my head!Mr. Eleven and I were cooking up a typical meat and potatoes meal. I had just brought the steak in from the grill in the yard. The mashed potatoes were perfect. I was just about to get the frozen peas and corn started. But the bag of peas was frozen solid. So I banged it against the wall in an attempt to loosen it up. But I loosened the wrong thing. It was then that I felt immense pain on my head! One of the lovely tiles my mom made out of clay, that I hung above the door in the kitchen, fell off the wall when the peas hit! It hit me squarely on the crown of my head..ouch! Lucky for me I had the bag of peas in my hand, ready to use as a cold compress on the wound. Since my head still hurts, I get to be Kick Ass Chick today!
I did a few of these, quick self portraits when I was doing the actual, KAC paintings. This is my favorite one. I was also running my dog walking biz at that time. The dog walking enabled me to paint. I made up the dog. But he sure reminds me of Frankenstein.
he does remind me of frankenchug.
ReplyDeletethis is one of my favorite paintings of yours that i've seen so far. totally gorgeous, totally kickass.
i have a lot of ceramic tiles in my life--i would neither want them to break nor land on my head! yikes. dramatic times in your household!
I once painted the white French Bull dog I longed for into a self portrait. I couldn't swing having my own dog at the time. But longed for a Frenchy. Soon after that I started my dog walking biz. My first client turned out to be, an all white English bulldog puppy! I felt like I painted him into my life!
ReplyDeleteToo bad it doesn't work like that all the time..I would paint a solid gold toilet..kidding!
ha! that's excellent. and i am working on something similar: my canine soulmate, a husky named monkey, lives in SF, and i have not (yet) been able to bring her to NYC. so i have written her into the novel i'm working on. maybe that act has helped me get closer to bringing her here.
ReplyDeleteI know it will! I think it already has. All the best on the novel and Monkey!
ReplyDeleteI found the chug on pet-finder and beat out 27 people for him. When I saw his photo I knew we had to be together. It was so stressful waiting to find out the verdict.
Hug a Husky!
hey, thanks. i have a plan in place for at least a sabbatical with the husky (whom i hug A LOT). she is the love of my life, and i'll be with her again in 27 days!!
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you and the chug found each other. (otherwise, i wouldn't have frankenstein friday!)
I hope those 27 days fly by! Thanks! ..me too, he is the love of my life!
