Red Velvet Strawberries

My inspiration for this week’s Summer of Color challenge came from a drawing my daughter drew last week.

Self-Portrait With Butterflies

One of my favorite Renaissance artists, Albrecht Durer, created many images of himself in his lifetime; his first self-portrait was drawn around age 13. I always enjoy looking at artist’s self-portraits.
