Well you have one right John. The self portrait was done from the mirror, but the other guess was wrong.
Number 11 was done from life. I just wanted to see if it made any difference. The only difference was that I had to guard the setup for several days until I finished it. I was a nervous wreck worrying that it would get disturbed and was constantly yelling "don't touch that" to everyone that passed through the room. I have difficulty even keeping a set up long enough to photograph it. In a busy household, "photos" are great. They allow me to draw small children, and to paint with north daylight at 10 PM.
