I usually don't "pull any punches" when painting a self-portrait. I tend to paint what I see without trying to make myself look younger or with less blemishes, etc., This is "I think" the sixth self-portrait I've painted. One reason I and many artists tend to paint self-portraits is that we have the model in front of us for free. In addition we don't have to be concerned the person we are painting will be dissatisfied with the artwork.
