I love Griffin & Sabine, but hadn't remembered that quote - love the Ignato one that's new to me. I think some artists - new ones anyway - avoid self-portraits for fear of being thought of as vain or self-obsessed - but they are definitely a form of self-discovery, as well as learning to really respect and honour the changes that occur over time (as much as they may distress one on other occasions). As with drawing portraits of others does too, you can't help but see the humanity and learn to love the subject. Thank you so much!Cathy Gatlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004501411878060668noreply@blogger.com
