Self-Portrait
Image by Lauren Nagy
This is an acrylic on canvas painting inspired by a photo taken of me last summer in Boston. My brother had zoomed in on my face (as he’s known to do) while I was waiting for my lunch to be brought out. I was about to delete the picture, but realized it actually captured my essence rather well. And so, this is the result. The best ideas are often ones that come up by accident.
About the Contributor
Lauren Nagy, Editor
Lauren is a senior at Freehold High School, eager to be entering her third year as a writer for The Colonial's literary magazine and her second year as an editor. An avid reader, she is also a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys knitting when she can find the time. Despite her place in the Medical Sciences program, she foresees a career in neither medicine nor science - and would rather study English, creative writing, and music in college. If she wrote a novel that one day became a widely beloved classic, that would be pretty nice too.
