Self Portrait

This is a Self Portrait of myself which describes me as a person.
Firstly I am going to start off talking about my styling head as this brings me back to childhood where all my dreams began. As I recall I had always longed to have a dolls head which I could style the hair and put make-up on and it was on my 9th birthday when this dream came true as this was my very special gift from my Grandma. I can honestly say from that day onwards was the beginning of my future. This is why I believe I am an optimist and not a Pessimist because I see the positive things in life and react upon them which then helps to motivate me and my self portrait reflects this as I am holding a glass of juice in my hand which in my opinion is 'half full' not 'half empty' as a Pessimist would see it.
I also have a great passion in the world of fashion whether it be clothes, hair or make-up which is where in my self portrait I am holding a Vogue magazine as this has many inspirational ideas for now and the future.
As you will also be able to see on my self portrait are some make-up palettes, I have used these as I feel they really reflect me as a person as I feel I have a natural flare for make-up and would love to progress further within the industry.
The candle in my portrait is a light of warmth, love and calmness which I feel not only do I need but it is within me as this is who I am.
A part from my passion and drive in life to fulfil my dreams I have a very special love and to me it is unique. This love is my cat Mimi, she is the centre of my world, she keeps me grounded because when things get tough she makes me feel relaxed, calm and most of all loved enabling me to progress with the more challenging things in my life. This is why the black cat is in my portrait as it reflects my beautiful Mimi.
