Steven, Alex,
of course, I understand why portrait artists want to paint interesting and beautiful people, I'm reacting the same way...
But I must say that I can be proud of my work, because it came from efforts and conscious decisions, and it's much more difficult to be proud of my appearance because I'm not responsible of it ( except maybe the choice of haircut and clothes, but it's so superficial...)

Anyway, I'm deeply honored to be the subject of such great painters I admire and I respect.
( You know that Peggy Baumgaertner took also reference photos at the museum? It was very funny just after Garth and Alex jumped on me with their cameras...)

I will pose for all those who ask me , promise!
