On rainy days and with no compelling projects, I sometimes turn to my easiest portrait model. Such great portraitists as Robert Henri and John Singer Sargent painted few self-portraits, whereas artists like Rembrandt, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Bonnard and others did many self-portraits. I don't think that means that it never rained during the careers of Henri and Sargent. Maybe they just had many sitters. Or maybe it was something else. 8x6 oil on gessobord.
