I emailed Dawn about members uploading a portrait of our younger self and the others guessing who it might be. It would have to be without any clue as to the name. At a later date all could be revealed. She very kindly agreed and this was her reply. “The best way might be to ask everyone to email their images to me and I can load them to my account in a separate gallery. That way I don't have to add the name of the artist - maybe they could include a few words to accompany the image that might give a clue or something? It would then be over to all of you to make your guesses in the comments?  I am only able to add four per day like everyone else and I will be having the Paul Talbot-Greaves challenge images to upload, so it may take a little while to get all of them in the gallery. I think it could work though. What do you think? It would just be my email address with self portrait challenge in the subject line.” What do you all think?

This sounds good Dawn, it will give us all some time to sort through old photos and get something painted. Many thanks for your time.

I’ve got absolutely no photographs of myself... old or new! It’s true honestly. I have got some self portraits that I’ve done of course, I can sort out a couple of older ones from the 80’s.

We haven't mentioned one....throughout the month of April? It's difficult to have consensus when we all post at different times.
