If you were to have your portrait painted is reality a consideration?

Or would you prefer the artist's interpretation of the "real you"?

If I am paying, I want a beautiful portrait, all blemishes hidden !

If he is paying me to pose, he may use his imagination.

@emmasfriend wouldnt you want the artist to capture your inner beauty? BTW, why did you assume a male portraitist? (My correction)

@emmasfriend oh, wow, so sorry. It was supposed to say male, autocorrect did me in. But you did assume the artist to be male.

@samueltyler2 @samueltyler2

Yes, I did assume him to be male.
There is an artist at the other end of my village, a male into his seventies, and I was thinking of him.
I have a painting on my kitchen wall of a cat I used to have, some years ago, painted by him.

And yes, I have refused his requests to pose nude for him !
"IF I am paying" I know what style of portrait I want

@emmasfriend i didnt ask that question, but since you volunteered it, it is a shame you refused. You will never be as bautiful sgain.
