Sharon,

People don't necessarily choose to work from photos. My own wife won't pose for me. I know the forum has been emphasizing life work lately, but for many, it's just not that easy to get willing models. I've had people say they would pose for me, then hem and haw and never follow through. It's just a reality that we have to resort to photos.

Besides, how could you paint a self portrait in this pose from life? Maybe with mirrors?

I agree about the signature. Way too much.
