I painted a man in three quarter pose turned slightly to profile. This man was large. Not just his 6'8" height but he had accumulated a substantial circumference. I'm sure I painted off forty pounds from his center. Upon seeing the portrait he proclaimed that I had painted him too fat around the middle! I never came out and said that I had thinned him up considerably.

There is the way you are. There is the way people see you. There is the way you see yourself.
