Mari--thanks! It's true that we make reliable models for ourselves. I have to admit, though, that after painting a self-portrait the boredom factor sets in and I'm ready for the challenge of a new face. Maybe that's a good thing--it prevents narcissism and gets me motivated to start asking people to pose.
Carlos--Ahh, yes, that expression. My husband calls it the "Tyng look." Believe it or not, of the two self-portraits I have done, this one had by far the better expression. I'm NOT showing the other one to anyone, believe me!
