Blue Hat

Hi and welcome to my first blog entry. For my fist entry I will describe this painting titled Blue Hat.

I enjoy dressing up for my portraits and I have a whole closet full of costumes that I have collected for the specific purpose of my art.

I love hats. This hat that I am wearing is not in fact really blue, but black. Being known by family and friends for my love of hats and unusual hats at that, a family friend found this hat that I guess looked like a “Riia hat”.  This black hat is made out of a strange black stringy material; it was made in the 1930's.

So for my first entry here is something that you know about me...I like strange hats. Does this make me an eccentric artist?

Thanks for reading and I hope that you will check back soon!
