"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter."
— Oscar Wilde
Irish Poet, Novelist, Playwright
1854 -1900
Writers, artists and poets reinvent themselves in their work. When they create a character or paint a portrait, they are recreating a portion of themselves and their lives. Yes, it may be a portrait of another person, but the artist leaves a piece of his soul in the painting. The great artists and writers put themselves in their work.
Remember that your emotions, your feelings are important to your success. Reach deep within yourself and find the heart of your emotion. Open yourself up to the world and find the words and images that convey your emotions in new and exciting ways.
See if you can identify the artists of these portraits of women.
