If you could have your portrait painted by any artist, alive or dead, who would it be?

You’re allowed any artist from any era, and actually any discipline, not just painters (sculptor, photographer, whatever).

I’d go for Francis Bacon, one of my all-time favourite painters.

Norman Rockwell
Dondi White
Chuck Close***

    I’d want to see what he would come up with…

    I love his paintings….they are sooooo weird…..but I do like them, they’re good.

    Oh and also Andy Warhol. That would be sooo cool…i like pop art.

    I think Seurat would do my pale, curvy body justice- plus I’d prefer to go back to his time to have it done than to have it done today.
