Ok, before you ask, this is not a self-portrait, I promise. As to what HER problem is, aside from looking like a Woman? Your guess is as good as mine.

Painting: Mixed media abstract floral design; a dark grey flower points downward on lower right, and a second flower in oranges and yellows opens upward on upper left. Stems cross each other midframe. Background is a blend of orange, brown, blue, and cream.

“Creatures Large and Small”, by Milton Glaser, watercolour.
Portrait of the artist’s favourite cat Annie. Although he did this for himself, he writes, it was later used for the Animal Rescue Fund.

Milton Glaser (1929-2020) was an American graphic designer. One of his most recognized works is the ‘I❤️NY’ logo. Below: a watercolor illustrating ‘Diary of a Madman’ by Russian writer Gogol

Reposting my most popular digital mixed media painting. The basic idea originated from an artwork by Sarah Anne Johnson, posted by Ann @annpersand.bsky.social. I let the description of the technique she used challenge me to seek my own.
