Thank you for you comment, I'm glad you found it meaningful. It's never too late to broaden our perspectives. I must admit that as a 51 year old woman, this topic has started to occupy my mind more and more and I seek older women's point of views and ideas and I find them comforting and enlightening. I was deeply touched by this portrait.

Also, the mods reinstated it, it was removed for its short length.

I’ve never found my face to be attractive, but I’ve recently been drawing self portraits. My experience has been like hers—it is an interesting subject if not beautiful. There is a therapy or even a profundity in exploring that space. I was very moved by her words.
