Sweet 16----

Slow art day so this is what you get today!

Well, ok...age is just a number, right? It's been 40 years since this 11th grade picture, actually 41 years but whose counting?   I don't know why I posted this. I came across this picture and since I didn't have an art du jour I thought I would post it.  I think this picture just makes me laugh and I remember the photographer made me laugh.  Thank God that I am still here in one piece!!!
Also, here she is from yesterday's post without the half border--she looks better I think. Thanks Caatje--I agree!
One more battle under my belt.
Hope everyone has a good art day! Here is my quote I made up for today,
"In art as in life, fight the good fight!"

I do believe the border was battling for the attention so this is a smart move. Love you're pic, so full of life and still are :-)

Martha, that is about the cutest picture I've seen. It would make a fabulous face for your collage/art. It has so much life in it.

I love the picture of you,so happy. Also love the girl,I like her either way with or without the border.

Diane said...

Wow, that made a difference--I wouldn't have even thought of that--I still focused on her even with the border.
And I LOVE that pic of you--hmmmm--maybe I'll start digging through my old teen year photos to post. That would be fun if everyone did.
