My 23rd painting is a self-portrait, another in my UK Series. A few people have liked this one. One of them applauded my courage in tackling a self-portrait, saying that those aren't easy. Oddly enough, part of why I tackled it was because I expected it to be not too hard. I can't think offhand of an artist who never did a self-portrait, so I figured that these were simply The Done Thing® and it was more or less expected that everyone can do it. Glad I didn't know going in that it wasn't easy, or that might have scared me away!
