The second one is more representative of the sister I know and love .. the first one more interesting and lively. I suspect it is in the correcting and tightening up that the liveliness went a bit. Would love to see a combination.XXXViviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002012531162874560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-86925733901741527982009-02-14T17:52:00.000+02:002009-02-14T17:52:00.000+02:00I've been thinking of doing more self-portraits......I've been thinking of doing more self-portraits... you're an inspiration.

I just love doing it and the subject rarely complains about them! :)<BR/><BR/>These are fabulous Cathy and both very likeable for different reasons. I think the first brings out the mischievous side which is fun. The second, the side you present to the world more often perhaps.<BR/><BR/>I find that each self portrait that I do looks entirely different from the previous one.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-85737699701034484102009-02-13T10:52:00.000+02:002009-02-13T10:52:00.000+02:00I think both are great Cathy, the first all mischi...I think both are great Cathy, the first all mischievious, but the second one has a softer, more serene feel to it.Art with Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433688529703445847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-17400690637461972009-02-13T03:47:00.000+02:002009-02-13T03:47:00.000+02:00Interesting method of correction--it's so hard to ...Interesting method of correction--it's so hard to get everything in the right place; weird since we look at faces all out lives!<BR/>I like the tilt of the head and the hint of a smile ...<BR/>Self-portraiture must be one of the hardest things to do, but you've done such a fine job!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859449716295663213.post-69955968317460740262009-02-12T21:13:00.000+02:002009-02-12T21:13:00.000+02:00Both are great portraits, but I do like the bit wi...Both are great portraits, but I do like the bit witchy one - it shows some spirit even if it may not be perfectly correct.

Great job on both, though. I always struggle with proportions too.<BR/><BR/>So, although you're obviously a super nice person you have a wicked, witchy streak?
