Flattery
There are some very talented artists here. But why do so many paint portraits, particularly in the case of children, portray them in the same angelic manner? Silk dresses, immaculately coiffured, wafted from Paradise and bathed in heavenly light. Is that what all these children are like? Is there any honesty here?
Portraying someone in a favourable manner is one thing, but I find this absurd.
Does anyone agree?
