London Portrait Gallery

Yeaterday my daughter and I visited the BP portraits exhibit at the National Gallery in London as part of her sixth form homework. The display was truly impressive and the artists unique and inspiring. I began to think about what a portrait of myself would portray. Would I exude confidence or compassion or shyness? What would my self portrait portray in contrast to anothers view of me? I once had a pencil drawing done by a street artist in Leicester Square--half price as I would be the last one of the night. I never thought it captured me but maybe it cpatured what I don't see. It is rolled up under my socks somewhere.
