I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
~Frida Kahlo

To sit for one's portrait is like being present at one's own creation.
~Alexander Smith

 

Painting by Nibblefest artist, Deb Harvey

"It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face"   

~Robert Louis Stevenson

Painting by Nibblefest artist, Heather Sims

 “Few persons who have ever sat for a portrait can have felt anything but inferior while the process is going on.”

~Anthony Powell

Painting by Nibblefest artist, Kathy Clemente

 

 Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
~Oscar Wilde

Painting by Nibblefest Artist, Cathy Darling

"Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend...."

~John Singer Sargent

 

  

Painting by Nibblefest artist Sarah Hope

“Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself”
