self portraite unsmiling

Comments

How about a photograph so we can see if the wife is being flattering or not? I like it, anyway - the colours you've used in the flesh work very well - that violet works a lot better than a harsher tone would have done. If this does look like you, you're not doing bad for 88!

You have made me laugh out loud! Thanks. Self-potrait, but not quite ....

Nice to put a face to a person on this site! When I read your Forum remarks, I'll remember this very nice self portrait! I also like the violet tones in the skin!
