A selfie is pretty self-indulgent, don’t you think? But given the good light and nice fall colors a couple weeks ago along the Missouri River, I couldn’t resist. Plus, there is a long tradition of creative types doing selfies. For example:
“Self-Portrait Wearing a White Feathered Bonnet” Rembrandt - 1635
And . . .
“Self-Portrait With a Bandaged Ear” Vincent van Gogh, 1889
I hope you noticed how cleverly I placed myself in the company of Rembrandt and Van Gogh, two world-changing artists. But rest assured: I don’t have delusions of grandeur. Plus, there’s no feather in my “bonnet” and so far I still have both of my ears.
