Jeannine,
This is a gorgeous photo,(gorgeous model!)
I agree with Linda completely, I would definitely modify the trapezius.
As to her statement:
Quote:
I think all women artists should paint themselves as knockouts, just as a matter of general principle.

, this is not just principle, it's a law.
I find self-portraits the easiest in a way - no one knows your own face better, and the painter is free to take whatever liberties he or she desires.
