Outside the Lines

Alvin Hipke

In a square in the middle, the artist's head and shoulders form a portrait image. Around the edges is a vibrant orange border. Blue hand prints are like a signature at the bottom.
Self Portrait of Me
acrylic on canvas

This is a self-portrait of me. I have a blue shirt and blue eyes. I like the forest with trees. I painted the trees first with yellow and orange leaves.

I also like painting pictures of houses, cowboy boots and cowboy hats. I like being an artist. It’s better than farming because it’s nice and quiet when I paint.

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and my family did lots of farming and my sister was an artist too.
