I don't know about portrait painters in general, but have often heard that it has been difficult for many artist, myself included, to paint those close to them. With all the challenges of doing a good portrait trying to include your own emotions and personal history is placing a big burden on the artist. I guess it could be twofold: a key ingredient for a special painting or a large overwhelming complication.
