You sure looked good! I do understand about not liking a portrait. A boyfriend had a painting of me done from my graduation picture. There was something really wrong with it, I had to turn it to the wall. It was well done...but something was so off with it. I guess you felt the same, so much so that you tried to correct the painting (what chutzpah!) I wound up throwing the portrait of me away!

To read about the portrait from the subjects point of view is fascinating.

I'm not a people person generally, and as you know, I am the world's worst photographer ... so I guess I will give portraiture a miss in this lifetime! Nevertheless I found your analysis totally fascinating, and your self-portraits -as always - brilliant.<br /><br />Skipping back to our history topic. I am finding that part of history between the US being a new colony and then an independent country really fascinating. I confess I had never fully appreciated that the US & Britain were at war with each other twice. I had sort of run your 'Revolutionary War' into the Sea War, making them one. When of course the dates alone should have told me that they couldn't have been.<br /><br />I have started a book that deals with 'Roosevelt & Churchill's relationship'. I hadn't realised that at the beginning they had detested each other.
