I lost most of my old art journals in the studio/barn fire, so when I found these drawings in a notebook tucked away in the back of my bedroom closet recently, it was a real gift! These drawings are from 1987 - 1988, when I was a young mother and living in Sanford, Maine. I have many "official" self-portraits and portraits - but these are drawings that I've never shown to anyone before.

Wow! What a lovely surprise for you! The first pen portrait you posted here is very funny - you must have been in some kind of mood when you did that. The blind contour ones are fun, too. And, of course, the more realized ones are executed with your usual aplomb. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure!
These are wonderful! I love the various styles your self portraits are done in. What joy to find them when you thought all were lost. I'm so happy for that, and thanks for sharing them.
hi martha--nice drawings of long ago that seem like yesterday-see you very soon!
What a find! These are lovely... thanks for sharing 'em.
