When my Husband and I were living in Germany we took a weekend and went to Zurich. While we where there the Kunsthaus Zurich was having a showing of 55 Albrecht Durer etchings. The background of this painting is of my favorite "The Sea Monster". I had made the decision to use this portrait image with the turban thinking they worked well together and then remembered the first oil painting I ever did in Grade 11 for Mr. Owen's art class. We had to pick a great master's self portrait and put our face in it.... I pick one of Rembrandt van Rijn, he had a lovely turban on! Funny how our past choices influence the present, sometimes without us even realizing.
This painting was entered in a self portrait contest at the 33 Collective Gallery, you can see the stages in my From The Studio Blog. This painting can be purchased with Paypal or most major credit cards.
