This is my favorite self portrait. It's a take on my childhood favorite the Princess and the Pea. And it couldn't be more appropriate for this sensitive artist. Sigh. I used my Wedding tiara for the crown. If it wasn't so self indulgent I'd use this for my facebook profile shot. We all should be allowed to be princess for a day at least, right? Then I would have to take it down I suppose. I've posted this for www.illustrationfriday.com before. But it fits the heights theme. You can't be afraid of heights to sleep in that bed! In reality I wouldn't want to sleep up there because of midnight bathroom trips. Especially in a dark and damp old castle. And where's the bed space for my handsome prince?

Lovely painting. Our human love the tiara too! :)
The patterns and colors make me think of an arabian princess.
Be careful with peas :)
Wow! The colors are really stunning. The leopard is so well done, and I love the different mattress patterns. Oh, and the super neat hairstyle. Great job!
I love it, I love the colors and your animal friends and all the detail patterned. And I agree, it should be on FB!
Great whimsy! Multi-talented...
