Did I tell you where to send your second self portrait challenge???


To my email at: sushi3@mac.com
Question #1.Should I extend the due date for this 2nd challenge?
That's a portrait of me painted in oil a few months ago by a fellow artist.
Ouestion #2. Does anyone know how I could add a Google language translation widget to this blog?

AND FINALLY: On my other blog, I am notified via my email that I have gotten a comment. I then go to my blog to respond to them. I guess that I did not set that email notification option up on this SPGLI blog, and therefore have answered NONE of the comments. My sincerest apologies! Ahh, technology!

American Hells Angel Bad Boy


I painted this a few years ago. It was one of several watercolors that I contributed to a biker fundraising art show to raise money to help individuals recover from serious accidents. I suggested that they simply get rid of their dangerous motor cycles and purchase Volvos. They all ignored my good advice!
I post this as a reminder of our second self portrait challenge: A self portrait with head ware...hats, helmets, scarves, etc. Let your imagination run free! Any art medium including digital. The due date is September 12. Send your art to me at: sushi3@mac.com.

A NEW "SELF PORTRAIT GLOBAL LOVE IN" CALL FOR ART!!


Please go to my "David Lobenberg" blog (click on " View my complete profile" on the right, then scroll down to my two blog listings and click on "David Lobenberg") and go to the July 7, 2009 post. Thank you, and I'm looking forward in seeing what our global community of artists come up with!

OOPS!

I'm an artist, not an editor. I figured I'd get some spelling of names all screwed up. I even missed posting (to date) two portraits...nuts!! Look for Bob Dahquist's very unique self portrait. He lives right around the corner from my studio and I missed him in the great GLOBAL love in!!! Also, I missed posting Beckie Saar Leone's wonderfully colorful and expressive SP. She emailed me wanting to know if there was something wrong with hers...hell no! And finally, I have added a very intriguing self portrait by Davida Schulman. Look for these self portraits at the top of the group of my previous post.
I'm hoping everything is correct now but probably not! Odds are good that I'll have more corrections and additions. Want to bet against that prognostication?
