She wondered how the artist had done it- did he magnify a photograph
trace lightly on the canvas and then begin to deal with light and shade of skin pigments ?
Sarah felt a shiver go down her spine. This show, was all to drive home a point
about getting honest with self and others.
She rather liked the painting for just what it was a portrait. Sometimes you look in
the mirror and wonder- is that really me and what is it I am really feeling ?
Sarah sighed, fifteen larger than life paintings- putting up front and in your face-
rather clear moods and feelings; for all the world to see. This was only the first one.
She gave her collar a jerk up and the brim of her hat a tug down.... READY ?

There are times that when i look in the mirror, i ask myself, is that reflection me.... Maybe that's the reason why i just open up and be me...

From the sounds of it she's ready... great take on the picture, Izzy.
I like this angle. I never considered it when thinking about what to write. Thank you!
Deep take on this.....
I don't know as if I could face myself that blown up.......

Great Job...

Be brave, Sarah!
I like it, Izzy.
the thought of being enlarged so much..( esp today when i feel about 100!!!) is scary...great magpie...x
Larger than life can be scary...
Like your take on this one Izzy!
Cool take on the prompt. Made me look inward and imagine how I might feel in the same situation.
=)
I'm up for this one!
We can be so uncomfortable with our own image...
Interesting. It seems our exterior hardly matches the interior. :) Nice work.
OKAY by me, if ya just paint a PART of my face, like, leave off the NOSE?
--grin!
IZZY, since you may not see this, my response to your comment on 4th Dimension:
"IZZY, as soon as I read your comment, I changed the last paragraph by throwing away some unnecessary words.
Thanks! (Did I hear you say, "Tweet"???) I appreciate. You are nice Peep!
Wow, so you saw the person in the hat as a woman! That fascinates me and gives a whole new dimension to your Mag.
Those are weird moments when I look at myself in the mirror and wonder who she really is....
wow, kool :-) what an interesting take on this photo...
