One could accept an unflattering portrait if it had some artistic merit, but this looks like shopping mall art.

Its a terrible pose for a portrait, and I suspect that she didn't sit for long, but had the painter work with photos, particularly for below the neck, where the painter looks like they were fudging it. A stupid choice for a blouse, and the truncated view add to the problem. Why didn't they at least go for a head and neck pose, so some movement could have been balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-44594381885174285502013-01-14T22:11:52.725-05:002013-01-14T22:11:52.725-05:00That is a DREADFUL portrait...That is a DREADFUL portrait...LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-14601179912981123762013-01-14T15:10:00.548-05:002013-01-14T15:10:00.548-05:00The painter made her look like Jackie-Earle Haley ...The painter made her look like Jackie-Earle Haley in drag.Eric Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861440095424013244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-13026594320400969892013-01-13T19:03:50.025-05:002013-01-13T19:03:50.025-05:00Well...I turn 62 this year, so 40 sounds pretty go...Well...I turn 62 this year, so 40 sounds pretty good to me!<br /><br />But I agree...it is not flattering in any way.
