portrait:landscape

is a collaborative sketchbook of female artists from nine different nations. Follow along as it makes a single revolution around the world ~ from the United States to England, Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Kuwait, Australia, Japan, Canada and back again ~ garnering portraits of seventeen artists in their unique landscapes.

[noun]        1. a painting, drawing, photograph or engraving of a person, esp. one depicting only the face, 
                      head or shoulders.  
                    - a representation or impression of someone or something in language or on film.  
[adjective]  2. (of a page, book or illustration, or the manner in which it is set or printed) 
                      higher than it is wide.

landscape 
[noun]        1. all the visible features of an area of countryside or land, often considered in terms of their 
                      aesthetic appeal. 
                    - a picture representing an area of countryside.  
                    - the genre of landscape painting  
[adjective]  2. (of a page, book or illustration, or the manner in which it is set or printed)

Each artist will fill four pages total ~ two with a self-portrait and two with a landscape of their town or neighborhood ~ and include a postcard in the back pocket with a few words about themselves and their art. (The portraits and landscapes are not required to be in portrait and landscape orientation).

Oh dear. The book has not shown up yet. I may need to start a new one for the second half of the journey and hope that the original makes its way home somehow. Let's hope it comes home in 2013!
