Your paintnig is awesome! I am not sure why you don't like it. Although you could have just painted yourself in a bikini like the other one ... hah!
Robin, what with your description of dealing health issues it is a wonder you had time for 2 portraits! I have friends ask why I never smile in my SPs. If they watched us try to paint one they'd understand.
One of my first ones I painted with the squint! It was a horror! The next funny thing is to try and take a good source photo in the mirror. Almost impossible! But does help with measurements (not much else).
I don't know if the painting looks like you, but it has a very nice quality to it, shows a lot of expression and depth.
What fun! The portraits are all great, it is fun to see all the styles. It is so hard for WOMEN to look in the mirror and paint themselves, we are busy saying, nose too long, eyes too droopy, etc and the men are busy saying, what a clever guy I am, look what a good job I am doing!
