Shine By Three: “Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.” ~ Oscar Wilde.

“Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.” ~ Oscar Wilde.

This is a self-portrait I took a while ago for a collaboration (which I will be telling you all about very soon - sneak peek here), but didn't end up being used, so I thought I'd share it here before I get back to singing accounting formulae.

What, who said that?

And just as love and FYI, I'm wearing an AL&ALICIA tee.

*love*
